The word Pancham means five (or fifth) in Bengali. After coming to Mumbai, he learnt sarod from Ustad Ali Akbar Khan.


R D Burman started his career as assistant to his father, Sachin Dev Burman. He assisted his father in Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi (1958) and Kaagaz Ke Phool , and his first music interlude, in his father composition, was for the song, Jaane Kya Tune Kahi, sung by Geeta Dutt, for film Pyaasa .


His first film as a music director was Guru Dutt's Raaz .Pancham was comfortable with all types of music. RD doubled up as a singer too. His most famous song as a singer was Mehbooba from Sholay.
