Career

Moheener Ghoraguli in concert at Rabindra Sadan, 1979, left to right: Raja Banerjee, Pradip Chatterjee, Tapas Das, Pranab Sengupta, Gautam Chattopadhyay and Ranjon Ghoshal.

An engineering graduate from the prestigious Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur, which was then affiliated with the University of Calcutta, he joined the Calcutta engineering firm M.N. Dastur & Company (P) Ltd, after the break-up of Moheener Ghoraguli. With the company, he travelled to many places from Orissa to Libya and Abu Dhabi, U.A.E., but his quest for world music was not deterred but enriched by this experience.

Currently, he resides in Kolkata, with his wife Sharmistha, daughter Anka and son Ritoban.
