Although Rajeev held a PhD in literature, he decided to give up his career as a Professor and Head of English Literature at Regional Engineering College, Tiruchirappalli (REC-T), which was later renamed as National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli (NIT-T), and then went to Calcutta, where he began his musical training under the tutelage of Ali Akbar Khan. Rajeev continued to learn from his Guru till Khan's death in 2009. He also had guidance from Ravi Shankar, Annapurna Devi, Nikhil Banerjee and Aashish Khan. He received some of India's highest national honours including the 2019 Padma Shri award and the Sangeet Natak Akademi in 1999–2000. He researched and published the Teaching Techniques of the Maihar-Allauddin Gharana, as a Ford Foundation scholar (1989 to 1992).[3]
