Sachin's interest in the arts began at a young age, and he remembers getting lost staring at the graphics of incense stick packaging and temple scriptures as a child. He started replicating these images on paper, but it wasn't until after his 12th grade in 2004 that he discovered Gond art. It was his aunt, a renowned Gond artist and Padma Shri awardee Durga Bai Vyam, who introduced him to the art form. She took him to a pop-up art exhibition in Delhi, where he witnessed a diverse range of Indian art styles, including Gond art. This experience was a turning point in his life, and he spent the next 8 years accompanying his aunt to art exhibitions and assisting other renowned artists in their craft. In 2013, he returned to Anuppur to continue working on his own art.
