As the youngest of five siblings, Panda&amp;#039;s education in a rural village posed challenges due to the lack of a proper school building, forcing him to walk 4-9 km daily to get to school. In 1995, after failing to complete his education, Panda relocated to Delhi and found work as a camera attendant. It was in this role that he began to gain expertise in the complexities of filmmaking. According to some sources, Panda also studied Entrepreneurship at [[IIM Bangalore]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |last=Shukla |first=Anuradha |title=B-School Brigade On Untrodden Paths |url=http://businessworld.in/article/B-School-Brigade-On-Untrodden-Paths/21-11-2017-132291 |access-date=2022-06-17 |website=BW Businessworld |language=en |archive-date=3 August 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210803083307/https://www.businessworld.in/article/B-School-Brigade-On-Untrodden-Paths/21-11-2017-132291/ |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
