Early life

Then, with the help of his sister, he began to learn to dance.

Ganesh started his career by working as an assistant, to founding his own dance company at the age of 12. He then became a choreographer and worked in his first film, Anaam, in 1992.
He was nominated for best choreography for "Badi Mushkil," a song from Lajja (2001), in the Screen Weekly Awards in 2002. In 2005, he was nominated for a Zee Cine Award for Best Choreographer for the song "Aisa Jadoo Dala Re" from Khakhee (2004).
