He hails from a family with a long tradition of military service, which played a key role in shaping his early interest in a career in the Nepalese Army. This strong family legacy of military service in the Nepalese armed forces provided him with a foundation of discipline, honor, and duty, values that would guide his career.

His parent unit, the Sri Shamsher Dal Battalion, is a prestigious infantry battalion within the Nepalese Army, known for its historical significance and excellence in combat operations. Mahat’s career has seen him rise through the ranks, leading various units with distinction, including an independent infantry company(Sri Ranabhimdal Gulma), an infantry battalion(Sri Shamserdal Battalion), and later an infantry fighting brigade(No. 6th Brigde).
During the Maoist Insurgency (1996–2006), a tumultuous period in Nepal's history, Brigadier General Mahat was actively involved in key military operations aimed at preserving national security and stability. His leadership during this civil conflict was instrumental in confronting the insurgency and helping maintain order during a time of immense political upheaval, which eventually led to the transition from a monarchy to a federal democratic republic in 2008.

In addition to his national service, Brigadier General Mahat has made significant contributions to international peace and security through his involvement in United Nations peacekeeping missions. Nepal has a long history of participation in UN missions, and Mahat’s deployment in these operations has enhanced his reputation as a disciplined and effective leader.
