He made successful campaigns against Mughals continuously with the help of Dhanaji Jadhav from 1689 to 1696. Santaji Ghorpade skillfully employed tactics, including guerrilla warfare, ambushes, and swift mobility, to effectively defeat the Mughal Army. He was granted the title of Mamlakat-Madar for his bravery by Rajaram in 1690.
