Apart from his father, he learnt music under the tutelage of great gurus like Late Shri Pannalal Samanta, Late Shri Kanaidas Bairagi, Late Guru Jnanprakash Ghosh and Late Ustad Munawar Ali khan. He Learnt Dhrupad from Late Uday Bhattacharya and renditions in different gharanas from various maestros. In the lighter music arena Pandit Chakrabarty is perhaps the only exponent of classical vocal music who has mastered the art of Kirtan rendition, Bengali folk music and Rabindra Sangeet from the experts in the respective fields.

With the urge to deliver nothing less than perfect, Pandit Chakrabarty has performed in innumerable concerts across India and the world. in the last few years, no major classical music conference anywhere in India has been conducted without the participation of Pandit Chakrabarty as the headliner and concluding artiste. It is his dedication to music that has made him the youngest recipient of the Sangeet Natak Academy award for contribution in Hindustani vocal music, amongst numerous other prestigious awards. Pandit Chakrabarty can also be credited for starting a rather unique musical institution ‘Shrutinandan’ that imparts taleem to a young student body of almost 900 children and 300 adults, utilizing the most innovative and scientific methods of teaching Indian vocal music. He has trained numerous students who are A-grade Akashvani artistes and well known performers, the most prominent exponent being his daughter Kaushiki Chakrabarty. Debashish Bhattacharya - a classical slide guitarist and Snehashish Mazumdar - a mandolin performer are two of his other students who are internationally known performers.

Pandit Chakrabarty has also authored books on music such as Shrutinandan in Bengali and English, Geetinandan Part-I and Part - II and New Passage to Indian Music.
