Babukishan recieved many awards for his Music Compositions in Bengal under the name Krishnendu Das even before he arrived in the Bombay. His name in Bombay Cineama became known as Babukishan. In 1981 he started to travel back and forth from Calcutta to Bombay until in 1989 he moved to Bombay permanently.

While in Bombay he became known as Babukishan his nick name, as the 2 directors named Suraj Sanim and Mahesh Bhatt had a difficult time pronouncing his name Krishnendu, therefore, they started to call him Babu Kishan all the time and thus it stuck and became his brand name in the Entertainment World.
Babukishan recorded Durga Puja albums with all the top Bollywood playback singers having them sing in Bengali, this was a very new idea at the time and a super hit. However, at first there were many Bengali’s who were very critical because many super talented Bengali singers did not have work as singers and Babu was bringing in outsiders. Some of these Indian Cinema singers he recorded in Bengali were Anaradha Paudwal, Md Aziz, Udit Narayan, Kavita Krishnamurthy, Sadhana Sargam, Alka Yagnik Purnima, Vijay Bendict, Abhijit, Kumar Sanu, for Durga Puja songs HMV/Venus/Tips MusicaIndia/Universal with big promotions. It should be noted that Indian Cinema started from Bengal and now 70% of the people in the modern Indian film industry are from Bengal. Babukishan being one of them who has composed everything from Hanuman Chalisa to Hip Hop.
Babu Kishan has worked with just about everybody in Indian Cinema as a Promotion Designer, Production Designer, Music Designer, and Music Director, from Amir Khan to A R Rahman... from the production of music, promotion to the international market.
Babukishan is probably the most famous person from Bollywood who is known behind the scenes within Indian Cinema.
