At the 2022 Asian Games, Mishra narrowly missed the podium, with a fourth place finish in the women’s 400 m event.[1] She later secured a silver medal as part of India’s women’s 4×400 m relay team.[2]

Earlier in July 2023, she also won a bronze medal in 400m at the Asian Athletics Championships at Supachalasai National Stadium, Bangkok.[4][5][6]

In May 2023, she won the gold in 400m at the 26th National Federation Cup Senior Athletics Championships, Birsa Munda Foot Ball Stadium, Morabadi, Ranchi.[3]

Controversy

In April 2022, following the Federation Cup in Kozhikode, Aishwarya Mishra was unavailable for a mandatory dope test, which led to reports that she had gone missing. She later clarified that her absence was due to attending to her ailing grandmother. Mishra subsequently returned to competition at the National Inter-State Senior Athletics Championships held in June 2022.[7][8]
