Branding Intern

At Akaththi Farms, we grow premium exotic mushrooms right here in Chennai starting with Elm Oyster, with Golden Oyster and Pink Oyster launching soon.

But mushrooms become interesting only when people see the story behind them.

How they grow.

How theyre harvested.

How chefs cook them.

Thats where branding comes in.

We are currently looking for one Branding Intern who enjoys storytelling, visuals, and creative experimentation to help us build the Akaththi Farms brand online.

This role is hands-on, creative, and built around real experiences.

What Youll Be Doing:

Creating Instagram reels, stories, and social media content

Capturing farm activities, harvest moments, and behind-the-scenes clips

Taking product photos and packaging visuals

Documenting restaurant visits, deliveries, and customer experiences

Supporting simple digital posts and marketing visuals

Helping shape how Akaththi Farms appears online

Some days you'll be filming mushrooms at the farm.

Some days you'll be editing reels.

Some days you'll be experimenting with new content ideas.

Thats the fun part.

Work Model:

This is a fully on-site role.

You will work from

the farm for content creation and shoots

occasional field visits when capturing restaurant or store stories

This role requires being present to capture real moments, so it is not a remote internship.

Candidates are expected to bring their own device (BYOD) for content creation.

This may include:

laptop for editing and content preparation

Work Schedule:

Monday to Saturday

Working hours are flexible, but typically around 8 hours per day, depending on shoots and content tasks.

Who Can Apply:

Both freshers and final-year students are encouraged to apply.

However, full availability for the entire 3-month internship is mandatory.

This role requires commitment and consistency.

Candidates currently based in Chennai will have an advantage.

Candidates from Visual Communication, Media, Marketing, Design, or related fields are welcome.

But curiosity and creativity matter more than degrees.

What Youll Learn:

During this internship you will gain exposure to:

How early-stage brands grow on social media

Visual storytelling for food products

Short-form video creation

Startup branding and content strategy

Building a brand from scratch

Internship Duration:
