Harshvardhan Kadam studied applied art and visual communication at the IDC School of Design, Mumbai. He began his career in 2007 as an artist for comic books. After setting up Inkbrushnme in 2005, a unique studio that makes murals, illustrations, graphic novels, conceptual artworks for films and games, he completed his postgraduate studies at IDC. His works include the Clock Tower at Har Ki Pauri, Haridwar, and India's largest mural at Yerawada Central Jail; a 300m-long painting titled 'Songs of the City', which depicts the story of the city Pune.
