About Yashwant Kumar
After finishing graduation with the fine arts, Yashwant started learning animation, digital designing, and film production. He later found that learning art skills on a digital platform was a good decision in itself and it was also needed for new-age skills.
Back in 2011, he started working full-time in a multinational company as a pre-production artist and designer. As time passed, his film career also progressed and filmmaking gave him a new identity as an artist. After almost 8 years of designing and filmmaking experience, Yashwant felt that it is necessary to bring some new career opportunities for the students coming from the small towns (he himself is from a small hill town) . This brought the idea of starting HIDA to his mind.
He discussed the idea with some of his friends and they also liked it. They started with a few workshops and seminars in nearby schools & colleges to make them aware of avant-garde skills like animation, digital art, filmmaking, etc. and explained to them about its importance.
In 2019 they officially launched the Himalayan Institute of Digital Arts to partner with the "National Skill Development Council" and the Media and Entertainment Sill Council.
Our aim is to recognize our talent in its place and our effort is to improve the level of the institution in every aspect.
