In 1998, Sagarika debuted in the Assamese Music Industry as an adult playback singer with her first Assamese Song in the film Joubone Amoni Kore. However, the film did not feature her song and it was only used as a bonus track in the original soundtrack for the film. A year later, the Assamese film Morom Nodir Gabhoru Gaat featured two songs sung by Sagarika, thus leading to her official debut in an Assamese film. Sagarika contributed to several Assamese albums and original soundtracks like Pansoi, Megha, Meghor Boron, Maharathi, Jon Jwole Kopalot, Bishforan, Garam Botaah, Aei Morom Tumar Babe, Nayak, Jonaki Mon etc.
