Goyal grew up in Rajasthan, studied at Princeton University, worked in finance in the US and Hong kong, and then returned to India in 2000. His studio is now located in New Delhi.
Goyal shares information about the various finishing techniques he uses in his practice. Repoussé, hammering low-relief designs into metal sheets from the reverse, is traditionally practiced in North India, like Varanasi, and South India like Kumbakonam, Tiruchirapalli, and Mysore. It is often used to make temple doors and ceilings.
