Ganguli belonged to the generation of Indian cricket officials who served the domestic game in the decades following India's independence. Indian umpires of this period typically progressed through state-level associations affiliated with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) before being appointed to first-class fixtures such as the Ranji Trophy and other zonal tournaments.
Ganguli was active as an umpire in Indian cricket, standing in matches organised under the domestic structure administered by the BCCI. His career spanned a long period of service to the game in an officiating capacity.
Domestic umpires such as Ganguli formed the backbone of Indian cricket's officiating infrastructure, supporting the conduct of first-class and other competitive matches across the country. Their work contributed to the maintenance of standards in the domestic game during an era when match officiating was almost entirely the preserve of national, rather than neutral international, umpires.
