He began practicing art during the lockdown in 2020 and subsequently founded his own learning institute, the Prism Pencil Portrait and Art Training Institute. Since then, he has organized and participated in various cultural programs, including events at the Kite Festival in 2022, the Gauhati Artists’ Guild in 2023 and 2024, and Vivekananda Kendra in 2024.
