Poran is known for his experiments and combinations with the local music of Assam and North-East in his few projects, which convey the scent of society culture. Since 2003, Poran has been associated with the media. However, because he began his work as a sound engineer in Mumbai, ‘Sound’ was more important to him at that time than music.

Poran does not want to limit himself to only one genre or traditional music. He has been experimenting with different genres in each of his projects, undoubtedly enhancing the musical nature of the state without affecting the regional taste. From his works, one can easily sense his exceptional musical ability regarding his musical experiments and his restlessness with music. His preferences are folk, Indie, Rock, and Electronic music.
