Yash is a man with a background in Sales & Marketing and has opted to combine this with his interest in cinema, film education and film technology. He uses his skills in social media marketing to market film education, his knowledge of film technology to teach everything from script-writing for VFX, and combines his zest for life to all this to make himself a wondeful asset to anyone that happens to employ him. With his experience, he now needs a bigger platform to operate from, which I am sure destiny will deliver to him.

Chris Higgins

I worked together with Yash at AISFM, where he was the CTO. Yash brings passion and enthusiasm to his work - he loves media and technology! His ideas were often valuable for us and he is lots of fun to work with.

Terence Andrei Beache

It was a great pleasure to know and work with Yash during my two year assignment at Salam Studios (Omnix International) Dubai. Yash has a amazing technical knowledge of the many aspects the audio visual industry. He has the ability to trouble-shoot complex set-up issues for live events. He has years of training others and experience within the industry. I would jump at the chance to work with him again.
