Early life and education

Goswamy did Masters in Wildlife Science from the Wildlife Institute of India. His first documentary film was based on his research work in Ranthambore which became his debut film, Chronicles of a Wildlifer, which was later telecasted on Doordarshan (DD National). and Kirloskar Vasundhara International Film Festival.

He served as an Assistant Commandant in the Border Security Force from 2011 to 2018, working in counter-insurgency and border security operations. During his service, he developed an interest in documenting India's lesser-known ecosystems, especially those outside protected areas. After leaving the BSF, Goswamy transitioned into wildlife filmmaking. His work highlights the lives of species and communities living at the margins of protected landscapes, particularly along political borders and in human-dominated regions.

His last documentary, Living with Border Security Force (2025), explores thriving biodiversity along the Indo–Pakistan border and has been covered by The Times of India for its unique portrayal of human–wildlife coexistence in militarized landscapes.

His work, focuses on overlooked stories of conservation beyond protected areas—highlighting community-led efforts, cultural stewardship, and wildlife resilience in India's most unexpected places.
