Intern vs CEO

Intern vs CEO is a 2026 Hindi short series from StoryTV that combines office romance, corporate politics, hidden identity and revenge. The story follows Kabir, who appears to be an ordinary and inexperienced intern entering the company at the bottom of the corporate hierarchy. However, his humble persona is deliberate: Kabir is actually the billionaire heir of the Malhotra Group, and he has secretly entered the company to investigate corruption and uncover the people misusing their power.

Inside the workplace, Kabir is repeatedly underestimated and humiliated by people who judge him by his position and appearance. Rather than immediately revealing his true status, he remains undercover and quietly observes the company's internal politics. As he investigates, he begins exposing corruption and protecting the business from threats from within, gradually demonstrating that the supposedly powerless intern possesses far more knowledge, authority and influence than his colleagues realize.

Alongside the corporate conflict, Kabir develops a romantic connection with Pakhi, one of the few people who recognizes his sincerity rather than judging him by his status. Their relationship grows amid office politics, betrayal and the pressure created by Kabir's concealed identity. The romance becomes increasingly complicated as the truth about Kabir's background moves closer to being exposed, raising questions about whether their relationship can survive once Pakhi discovers who he really is.

The series stars Mohit Kumar and Kanikka Kapur in the lead roles, marking another on-screen collaboration between the two actors. Their pairing had previously received a positive response, and Kanikka later described their chemistry as natural and effortless. Intern vs CEO ultimately revolves around Kabir's double life: an apparently powerless intern on the surface, but the hidden heir and real power behind the company, whose eventual identity reveal threatens to overturn the entire boardroom hierarchy.
