Raghavan hails from Kerala, a state with a strong tradition of producing track and field athletes for the Indian national team. She trained on the domestic athletics circuit before moving up to senior national and international competition, specialising in the one-lap hurdles event.
Raghavan has competed in national-level meets organised under the Athletics Federation of India (AFI), including Federation Cup and Inter-State Senior Athletics Championships. She has also represented India in the women's 400 metres hurdles at the Asian level, and has been part of the Indian 4 × 400 metres relay pool, an event in which Indian women have historically been competitive at the Asian Athletics Championships and Asian Games.
Within Indian athletics, the 400 metres hurdles has been a relatively thinly contested women's event, and athletes such as Raghavan have contributed to maintaining a steady talent pipeline alongside the country's stronger flat 400 metres tradition.
