He is an "A" grade artiste with All India Radio and has done multiple national programs for them. He is an empaneled musician with Doordarshan and ICCR as well. He has performed in numerous music festivals all over the world.
He is currently the Head of the Department, Guru, member of the expert committee, and a scholarship examiner at the Shakri Begum Memorial Trust in Kolkata, an institute run by Ust. Rashid Khan. He has also been judging Indian classical music competitions throughout India.
He is also an adept poet and composer in both the Indian and Western classical traditions. He has two Bengali poetry books to his credit which were released at the prestigious Kolkata International Book Fair.
