[1] Apurv won the National Award 2015-16[2] given by the Lalit Kala Akademi, Ministry of Culture for her painting 'Cosmic Balance', and has exhibited her artwork across the country.

[citation needed] In 1987 Apurv launched the Oshonik label, eventually designing clothes for Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Vinod Khanna, Amjad Ali Khan, Hansraj Hans, Kapil dev, Zakir Hussain and others.

[citation needed] Apurv's paintings were selected for the 'Soul of Asia' section of the 44th International Film Festival of India IFFI held in November 2013 in Goa.

Apurv has also contemporary figures silhouetted in black against a colourful background featuring people engaged in various forms of social interaction like dancing with one another or engrossed in quiet, intimate dialogue.

Some of her paintings have strong overtones of Tibetan influences such as "Jalpari," which has a colourful mythological figure rising out of the water against an elaborately detailed sky.

[16][17] A figure prays behind a finely detailed fretwork screen in the painting 'Devotion'[17] and a tranquil Buddha head with rays of light radiating around it appears in 'Illuminations'.

Her paintings also reflect the messages of Gautam Buddha, Krishna, Meera, Kabir, Nanak, Shiva, Sufis, Jesus, Islam, Zen and the Upanishads.
