From a very young age, Ravindra used to sing Bhajans at the nearby temples. To nurture their son’s talent, their parents enrolled him for formal training in classical music under the guidance of Janardhan Sharma, G.L. Jain, and Nathuram.
Ravindra made a remarkable debut in Bollywood with the film Saudagar. The songs of the film became an instant hit and Sajna Hai Mujhe was the biggest hit song of the film. Ravindra was arguably one of the finest music directors of Bollywood during medieval ages. Some of his noted works include Saudagar, Chit Chor, Ram Teri Ganga Maili, Geet Gaata Chal and Vivah among several others. He was well-known for his long-term association with Rajshree Productions.

A maximum number of hits that Yesudas gave belonged to Ravinder Jain including his only Filmfare and National awards.
