Of his experiences, he says

“I realized that it was my responsibility toward other craftsmen to share what I had learnt. I have since then offered services during all workshops of the Crafts Council of India. This has further helped me grow and improve my artistic life as well. I have realized the importance of working with interest, making a product that looks good and is of use to the buyer.”
