In artistic gymnastics, Pranati is counted on the third position after India’s renowned gymnasts, Dipa Karmakar and Aruna Reddy, for winning the medal in the World Championships. In 2020, Pranati Nayak, along with Milka Gehani from Sri Lanka, attained the continental quota spot for the 2020 Summer Olympics. She received this quota in artistic gymnastics after the cancellation of the 2021 Asian Championships. In 2021, she was selected to participate in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics Games as an artistic gymnast. In 2023, Pranati participated in the Asian Games, held in Hangzhou, China. At the event, she qualified for the finals in both the vault and all-around gymnastics competitions. In the semi-finals of the women’s vault, she secured the sixth position with a score of 12.716 points, becoming one of the eight qualifiers for the finals. Moreover, despite being ranked 23rd overall in the all-around competition, Pranati qualified for the finals because the rules stipulated that a country could have a maximum of only two gymnasts in the final round.
