Background

Career
Badminton Asia Team Championships, 2024
The 2024 Badminton Asia Team Championships were held in Shah Alam, Malaysia. India's women's team reached the final for the first time and defeated Thailand 3–2. Kharb, playing the deciding fifth match, secured the title-winning point in women's singles. The result was India's maiden title at the Badminton Asia Team Championships in the women's category and qualified the team for the Thomas & Uber Cup Finals later that year.
National and international circuit
Kharb has competed on the Badminton World Federation (BWF) International Challenge and International Series circuits, which form part of the developmental pathway for senior international badminton. She has also represented India in domestic senior events organised under the Badminton Association of India (BAI).
Significance
Kharb's performance in the 2024 Asia Team Championships final is considered a notable moment in Indian women's badminton, given that the title was won against established Asian sides and required wins from younger players in the absence of some senior names. She is regarded as part of the next generation of Indian women's singles players following the era led by Saina Nehwal and P. V. Sindhu.
