Rowing in India is governed by the Rowing Federation of India (RFI), which was established in 1976 and is affiliated to the international governing body, World Rowing (FISA). A significant share of Indian rowers, particularly at the senior level, are drawn from the Army Rowing Node (ARN) at the College of Military Engineering in Pune, which has historically been the country's principal high-performance rowing centre.
Ashish competes in rowing events under the national federation's programme. Indian rowers typically progress through national championships and selection trials before representing the country at continental events such as the Asian Rowing Championships and Asian Games, and at world-level regattas organised by World Rowing.
Indian rowing has expanded in visibility since the 2010s, with medal performances at Asian Games and Asian Championships drawing greater attention to athletes in the discipline. Rowers of Ashish's generation form part of the talent pool feeding into India's preparation for major multi-sport events.
