It was during the later part of those formative years, Bobo made up his mind about becoming a music composer because he felt that would give him the maximum release of expression towards his art & he knew he had to take his art to places. Bobo opted for finding a bigger canvas and he decided to shift base to Mumbai in the year 2001.^[17]

Bobo finally managed to establish himself as one of the premier music composer & record producer for the thriving advertising industry.^[18]
