Role: Creative Director — Internship (Hybrid, Noida)

Role: Creative & Brand Direction Intern
Khandaani — Internship | Hybrid | Noida
About Khandaani
Khandaani is a design house reinterpreting India’s textiles, architecture and material culture into modern clothing.
We’re building a brand that is more than just clothes, the way we shoot, write, communicate, collaborate and present the work is as important as the products themselves.
The Role
This isn’t a role where you’ll be given a fixed list of things to execute.
As a Creative & Brand Direction Intern, you’ll help shape how Khandaani shows up everywhere — from shoots and campaigns to content, collaborations and brand communication.
You’ll work directly with the founder on creative direction, positioning and taste, and have a say in how ideas actually come together.
You might look at a campaign concept one day, work on a shoot the next, help shape a collaboration, or question why a piece of content doesn’t feel like Khandaani.
The role is intentionally broad because we don’t want you working in just one creative lane.
What You’ll Work On
Creative direction for shoots, campaigns and content
Developing campaign concepts and creative ideas
Shaping Khandaani’s visual and cultural language
Working on brand positioning and communication
Reviewing and directing content across social media and other platforms
Collaborating with designers, photographers, filmmakers, writers and other creatives
Helping bring different creative disciplines into one cohesive direction
Exploring collaborations and finding interesting ways for Khandaani to show up
Building references, moodboards and creative frameworks when needed
Working closely with the founder on the overall creative direction of the brand
Who We’re Looking For
You don’t necessarily need the strongest résumé. We’re looking for someone with real taste and a strong point of view.
You might be a good fit if:
You can tell the difference between something that simply looks good and something that actually means something
You naturally notice details — framing, styling, words, composition, references, tone
You have a strong understanding of fashion, culture, art, photography, film or design
You have opinions and aren’t afraid to question an idea when you think it can be better
You can think about the bigger picture while still obsessing over the smallest detail
You enjoy bringing different people and ideas together
You want to shape something rather than simply execute someone else’s brief
You’re curious and constantly collecting references from the world around you
Most importantly, you want creative ownership over something real.
What You’ll Get
Direct collaboration with the founder
Real creative ownership, not dummy internship projects
The opportunity to shape how an emerging fashion brand presents itself
Hands-on experience across campaigns, content, shoots and collaborations
Your work can actually become part of Khandaani’s public identity
Public credit for work you create or significantly contribute to
A strong portfolio of real work rather than internal assignments
Recommendation letter and reference calls based on your contribution
Opportunity to continue working with Khandaani beyond the internship based on fit and performance
Performance-based bonuses when work you shape or lead gets published and generates measurable results
Internship Details
Duration: 3 months
Location: Noida
Type: Hybrid
Openings: 1
Stipend: Unpaid internship — no fixed stipend
We want to be transparent about this from the beginning.
There is no fixed stipend. If the work you shape or lead gets published and performs, you’ll receive public credit and a bonus tied to its actual impact.
If nothing lands, there is no payout.
This isn’t meant to replace a paid creative role. It’s for someone who, at this stage, values creative ownership, real work and the opportunity to build something from the inside.
