Before taking up film editing from The Film & Television Institute of India, Pune, he did his masters in Television Direction & Graduation in Film & Television Production from EMRC, Indore.

Turtle is his debutant feature film where he has very soulfully and skilfully interweaved the subject in a story and braided macabre images in the desert with the echoing sounds of the chants into the moustache of the Alghoza. Turtle became the first Rajasthani-language film to win a National Award.
