According to a report by The New Indian Express, Shantanu was the first Odia music composer to work with legends like Lata Mangeshkar, Manna Dey, and Md Rafi and was also the first from the state to work in Hindi, Bengali, Assamese, and Telugu films.
The music maestro was a geophysicist and an IIT Kharagpur alumnus who began learning music from Sangeet Narayan Banchhanidhi Panda at the age of five. He is credited with composing the first modern Odia ballad Konark Gatha, which was sung by Akshay Mohanty.
