He received his BA in Fine Arts from the University of Pennsylvania, and his MFA in Media Design from Art Center College of Design in California. In his work Nikhil addresses the duality inherent to the creative process. Nikhil highlights ingrained cultural practices and searches for change and order through a visual language that illuminates the invisible and makes tactile that which we cannot feel.

His artworks are held in various private collections in the U.S.A., U.A.E. and India.
