About Indian Films Academy

INDIAN FILMS ACADEMY is a dedicated training center for cinematic acting, bridging the gap between acting education and the professional film industry. Founded in 2019 by film director and acting mentor Yogesh Mishrra, IFA was built on a practical approach to screen acting. Through his proprietary Actors Transformation System(ATS), The academy has successfully trained over 100 students who are currently working across the entertainment sector. In 2026, the academy expanded its institutional strength by welcoming Mr. Dinesh Kumar Sahgal as Co-Founder. With over 30 years of leadership experience, including his tenure as Deputy Director in the Information and Public Relations Department and at Film Bandhu, Government of Uttar Pradesh, his vision ensures a secure, ethical, and highly professional career pathway for our students. At IFA, training extends beyond the classroom. We provide an environment where working actors, film directors, producers, and casting directors regularly visit to mentor students. Supported by our in-house production and casting platform(PICHRAPA PLANET), we prepare our students to be confident, camera-ready artists.
इंडियन फिल्म्स एकेडमी सिनेमाई अभिनय का एक समर्पित प्रशिक्षण केंद्र है, जो एक्टिंग की शिक्षा और प्रोफेशनल फिल्म इंडस्ट्री के बीच की दूरी को खत्म करता है।
2019 में फिल्म निर्देशक और एक्टिंग मेंटर योगेश मिश्रा द्वारा स्थापित, इस एकेडमी की शुरुआत स्क्रीन एक्टिंग की प्रैक्टिकल ट्रेनिंग देने के उद्देश्य से हुई थी। उनके अपने एक्टर्स ट्रांसफॉर्मेशन सिस्टम के माध्यम से, एकेडमी ने 100 से अधिक छात्रों को सफलता पूर्वक प्रशिक्षित किया है जो वर्तमान में मनोरंजन जगत में काम कर रहे हैं।
2026 में, श्री दिनेश कुमार सहगल के को-फाउंडर के रूप में जुड़ने से एकेडमी को एक मजबूत प्रशासनिक और संस्थागत पहचान मिली। उत्तर प्रदेश सरकार के सूचना एवं जनसंपर्क विभाग और फिल्म बंधु में उप निदेशक के रूप में काम कर चुके श्री सहगल का 30 से अधिक वर्षों का नेतृत्व अनुभव, हमारे छात्रों के लिए एक सुरक्षित, नैतिक और पेशेवर करियर सुनिश्चित करता है।
यहाँ ट्रेनिंग सिर्फ क्लासरूम तक सीमित नहीं है। हम एक ऐसा माहौल देते हैं जहाँ इंडस्ट्री के काम कर रहे कलाकार, फिल्म निर्देशक, निर्माता और कास्टिंग डायरेक्टर नियमित रूप से छात्रों का मार्गदर्शन करने आते हैं। हमारे अपने इन-हाउस प्रोडक्शन और कास्टिंग प्लेटफॉर्म के सहयोग से, हम छात्रों को कैमरे के लिए पूरी तरह तैयार और आत्मविश्वासी कलाकार बनाते हैं।
