While in A. M. Jain College, he was the secretary of the Fine Arts section. All through his life as a student, he had participated and won several singing competitions. He was also passionate about cricket and played it actively. However, he had to quit it due to a teacher.

He also has a diploma in music from Trinity College, London. Although he was musically inclined, he took up a desk job at a firm. The owner of the company was his family's friend. His stint there and a chance meeting with S. P. Balasubrahmanyam made him realize that music is his true calling.
