Since April 2023, he has been represented at Nilufar gallery, Milan[16][17]. Goyal has also held a solo exhibit at PAD London[18] in October of the same year and again in 2024[19].
Goyal is a patron of The Elephant Family, a UK based charity chaired by HRH Prince Charles, which raises funds and awareness for endangered Asian elephants[20].
