Before joining IIT Guwahati, I had been a Pure Hindustani Classical vocal artist in Kotali Gharana under the tutelage of Vidushi Ruchira Panda from 2015-2022.  During this time, I attended and sometimes performed at different music conferences in Kolkata.

I learned around 20 Raagas in these 7 years. I recorded most of those Bandishes in this link in 2021.
