Poseria belongs to the small group of Indian-origin swimmers who developed their competitive careers in the United States before representing India internationally. Such swimmers typically train within the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) system, which has historically supplied a number of athletes to the Indian national pool, particularly in sprint and butterfly events where Indian domestic infrastructure has been comparatively limited.
Poseria has competed for India in regional and continental competitions, with the butterfly events being his main specialisation. As with several Indian swimmers of his generation, his appearances have been concentrated in multi-sport meets organised under the Swimming Federation of India (SFI) and continental bodies in Asia.
Poseria's career reflects a broader pattern in Indian swimming, in which diaspora athletes trained abroad have contributed to the national team's depth in pool events. Such participation has been particularly visible in the butterfly and freestyle disciplines, where exposure to high-level collegiate competition abroad complements domestic training programmes.
