He won the Academy Award for Best Sound Mixing for Slumdog Millionaire alongside Richard Pryke and Ian Tapp. In addition to British films, Pookutty has worked in Hindi, Tamil, and Malayalam language films.
Born into a family in Vilakkupara, about 40 kilometres from Kollam, Kerala, India, near Anchal, in India. He was the third child of eight. His father inspected private bus tickets. As his village lacked electricity, Pookutty had to walk six kilometres to the nearest school and study by the light of a paraffin candle.

He enrolled at Government Law College, Thiruvananthapuram to pursue a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree, but he was unable to graduate. 1995 marked his graduation from Pune’s Film and Television Institute of India.

Pookutty and the cast of Slumdog Millionaire attended the 81st Academy Awards together. After earning his degree, Pookutty migrated to Mumbai.
