Like many Indian rowers of his generation, Panwar entered the sport through the armed forces sporting structure. The Army Rowing Node, set up at the College of Military Engineering campus on the banks of the Khadakwasla reservoir in Pune, identifies and trains rowers for national and international competition under the Rowing Federation of India (RFI).
Panwar competes in the men's single sculls, a discipline in which the athlete propels a single-person boat with two oars. He has represented India at Asian and world-level rowing regattas, and qualified for the Olympic Games through the continental qualification pathway in his event.
Indian rowing has historically had limited Olympic representation, and athletes who reach the Games in single sculls — a technically demanding discipline — are considered notable contributors to the sport's development in the country. Panwar's progression through the Army Rowing Node reflects the broader pattern by which institutional sport in India produces Olympic-level rowers.
