In 2009 he received a grant from the Ian Potter Cultural Trust to attend workshops at the London Contemporary Dance School and to visit dance companies in Europe. In 2012, Raghav performed in a season of Pop Whistle Crack by Marilyn Miller in Cairns. He then completed a national tour of Briwyant, by Vicki van Hout, with seasons in Melbourne, Brisbane and The Darwin Festival. In 2012 Raghav choreographed a solo work KumKum, which premiered at PACT in Sydney. In 2013 Raghav performed in Slow dances for fast times by Martin del Amo and Double Entendre, a duet with Sue Healey and the Australia Ensemble at UNSW.
