Under Arhan's guidance, KYARI is actively addressing critical regional challenges through forward-thinking solutions. A prime example is the introduction of e-rickshaws in Srinagar. This initiative promotes sustainable transportation and provides economic opportunities, particularly for disadvantaged communities, demonstrating an innovative approach to development challenges. KYARI also focuses on areas like education, sanitation, electricity, tourism, conservation, and economic empowerment for women. Notably, KYARI successfully organized the Lit Fest in Kashmir after a 33-year gap, a significant cultural revival that was inaugurated by the Lt Governor and attended by various dignitaries.
Arhan's unwavering commitment to creating employment and raising awareness for a greener society has been lauded. This recognition follows two years of impactful work by his initiative, highlighted by a recent post from Payal Mehta on X (formerly Twitter), who commended the scale and significance of his contributions:
"2 yrs to this big effort to create employment and awareness towards a green society. @IndiaKyari @IamArhanBagati keep up the good work."

His perspectives on national security, the socio-political environment of J&K, and connecting with one's roots are frequently shared through TEDx talks and publications in leading media outlets.
Further demonstrating his dedication to showcasing Kashmir positively, Arhan served as a co-producer of the recently released Bollywood film "Ground Zero."
