Early life

After completing his schooling at St. James' School and college education at Presidency College, he went to a music school. At Presidency he was the Social Services Secretary of the Students Union run by the Independents' Consolidation (IC). Pritam joined a Bangla band, Chandrabindoo. Before that he formed another band with his Presidency batchmates, called "Jotugriher Pakhi". They even have a cassette released to their credit at that time. In January 1993, Pritam joined the Film and Television Institute in Pune to undertake a course in sound recording and sound engineering. During this time, he was offered a chance to compose background music for a film by Hungarian filmmaker Istvan Gaal. He also learned African music from musicologist Kedar Avati.
Career
Having completed his education, Pritam Chakraborty moved to Mumbai to pursue a career in Bollywood.

Pritam got his first break when Gadhvi was signed on to direct Tere Liye and he, in turn, signed on his friends Jeet and Pritam as music composers. Though the music was well received, the film sank at the box office. However, in 2002 Yashraj Films signed Gadhvi up to direct Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai, for which the Jeet-Pritam duo once again composed the music.

अब तो जियु या मारू main यही
तू ही भरोसा है तू ही तो उम्मीद है आखरी
ना देना मुझे अब फ़ासले मैने तो किए है फ़ैसले
जाना है कहा तेरे सिवा वो ओ
मुझे तेरी पनाहे मिले रहने को तेरी बहे मिले
जाना है कहा तेरे सिवा वो ओ
तुझी से पुच्छू खुद से ही मिलने का रास्ता
तुझी मे ढूंडू कुछ देर जीने का आसरा
तुझी से पुच्छू खुद से ही मिलने का रास्ता
मुझे तेरी पनाहे मिले रहने को तेरी बहे मिले
जाना है कहा तेरे सिवा वो ओ
तेरी वजह से ही ये सब हुआ
मई जी रहा हू यहा पे ये एहसास भी अब हुआ
कंधे पे तेरे पल ये ढले रुके ना कभी ये सिलसिले
जाना है कहा तेरे सिवा वो ओ
मुझे तेरी पनाहे मिले रहने को तेरी बहे मिले
जाना है कहा तेरे सिवा वो ओ
