Before joining the IS-K, Abu Usman Al-Kashmiri had been a member of Harakat Al-Mujahedin in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir. He, then, joined Al-Qaeda and after a while in 2015, he announced that he had joined the ISIS.
Al-Kashmiri is believed to have been the first Amir of the "Indian province" of ISIS.
