He started work at a young age and grew to have a formidable career with the Taj group of hotels before he retired from there to pursue his own interests in which theatre prominently featured. He was one of the chief designers and coordinators and creative Director of the Mahindra Excellence in Theatre Awards (META) that have come to be recognised as one of the premier awards in theatre in India. He was passionate about the awards and encouraged an open system of applications that is reviewed by a Selection Committee that changes each year.
