His potential as a gifted dancer and being an avid learner took him to the world's most renowned dance institution: The Broadway Dance Center in New York City, USA. Under the tutelage of Frank Hatchett, Hollywood's ace choreographer for four months, Vishal got the rare and golden opportunity of performing solo at the annual Student Showcase event at Broadway in 2006 which spearheaded his journey as an entrepreneur in the entertainment field and landed him on the cover page of India Today's Kolkata edition in August 2006.
