He received training from Pandharinath Nageshkar and Vinayakrao Gangreker. His diverse training in Carnatic Laya-Shastra from Ramnad Ishwaran has enabled him to imbibe the intricacies of both North and South Indian Tala Systems and create a unique style to tabla playing of his own. He has given a new dimension to each of his concerts where he provides accompaniment to leading vocalists and instrumentalists. He has accompanied leading Kathak dancers and has also presented lecture-demonstrations at several renowned institutions.
