Before his gubernatorial posting, Taleyarkhan had served as a Minister of Housing and Civil Supplies of the Government of Maharashtra[2] and as India's Ambassador to Libya.[3]

Taleyarkhan served as the second Governor of Sikkim from 9 January 1981 to 17 June 1984.[4] As governor, he persuaded the then Chief Minister Nar Bahadur Bhandari to merge his Sikkim Janata Parishad with the Indian National Congress but their relationship later soured.[5]

Some of his books include From Warfare to Welfare: The Ideal of National Integration[8] and the Splendor of Sikkim.[9]
