Nidhin applied for the record on the website of India Book of Records. He obtained permission for exhibiting the skill and was given the record later. He started carving soaps after making a ring using the thorn of an Indian coral tree (Murikku in Malayalam) when he was in school.

Currently, Nidhin works in the IT industry in Bengaluru and is now working from home owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. He is the son of Narayanan and Sathi.
