Life and career
Fountain of Oneness – Public art in New Delhi

Bakshi was born in Amritsar in Punjab, India. He is the great-grandson of Ganda Singh Datt and son of Bakshi Hardev Singh. Bakshi completed his high school education at St. Francis School in Amritsar. He then enrolled in the Merchant Navy at the T.S. Rajendra in Mumbai from 1974 until 1976. His travels in the Navy exposed him to different arts and cultures, and this eventually led him to quit his job of 23 years to pursue his interest in the glassmaking.

In 1984, Bakshi studied the technique of modern stained glass in Australia. He returned home to set up his own studio for coldworking, Studio Lead Light, in Vasant Kunj, Delhi. He also works with a team at Firozabad, Uttar Pradesh for glassblowing and casting. His work is influenced by Bertil Vallien.
