Mountaineering in India has a long institutional base, anchored by bodies such as the Indian Mountaineering Foundation (IMF) and training institutes including the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute in Darjeeling and the Nehru Institute of Mountaineering in Uttarkashi. Indian climbers active in the contemporary era typically progress through these institutes and through state-level adventure clubs before attempting Himalayan expeditions.
As an Indian mountaineer, Mane is part of a broader cohort of climbers contributing to India's growing presence on Himalayan and high-altitude expeditions. The discipline in India has expanded considerably since the late twentieth century, with climbers from states such as Maharashtra, West Bengal, Karnataka and the hill states regularly attempting peaks in the Garhwal, Kumaon, Sikkim, Ladakh and Nepalese Himalaya.
