An engineering graduate from the prestigious Bengal Engineering College, Shibpur, which was then affiliated with the University of Calcutta, he joined the Calcutta engineering firm M.N. Dastur & Company (P) Ltd, after the break-up of Moheener Ghoraguli. During the course of his service with the company, he travelled many places from Orissa to Libya, Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. but his quest for world-music was never deterred, but enriched by this varied experiences.

Currently, he resides in Kolkata, with his wife Sharmistha and daughter Anka and son Ritoban.
