On 12 June 1848, Pogose founded the Pogose Anglo Vernacular School (later Pogose School), the first private school in Dhaka. He served as its headmaster until 1855.[3] He served as one of the nine commissioners of Dacca Municipality during 1874–75. He was a partner of the Dacca Bank.[3]
Pogose built the Weis House which is currently the headquarters of Bulbul Lalitakala Academy.[4] By 1868, Pogose became one of five Armenian zamindars in Dhaka.[5]
Pogose died in 1876 and he was buried at the Christian Cemetery in the Narinda suburb of Dhaka.[6] His epitaph reads"Till the day break and Shadows flee away".[7]

Pogose was married to Mariam Avdall (b. 1825/26). She was a daughter of Johannes Avdall, the then headmaster of the Armenian College and Philanthropic Academy in Kolkata.[8] Together they had at least 10 children including Gregory Joachim Pogose (b. 1845/46), John Pogose (b. 1850/51), Nicholas Joachim Pogose (1852–1872) and Paul Pogose (b. 1853/54).[3][8]
