Early Senior Years: 2010–2012

Praveen officially started his senior career in 2010. He played for the PB Djarum club. During these years, he took part in many international tournaments. He focused on both men's doubles and mixed doubles.

Partnering with Vita Marissa: 2013

In 2013, Praveen teamed up with Vita Marissa. They quickly became a strong pair. They won three titles at the Grand Prix Gold level. These wins were in New Zealand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. They also reached the semi-finals of big tournaments like the Korea Open, Malaysia Open, and Singapore Open.

Joining the National Team: 2014

After his successful year in 2013, Praveen was invited to join Indonesia's national badminton team. He started playing with Debby Susanto. This new partnership quickly found success. They reached their first final together at the Malaysia Grand Prix Gold. In September, they won a bronze medal in mixed doubles at the Asian Games.

More Finals and First Superseries: 2015

Praveen and Debby continued to do well in 2015. They reached the finals of the Malaysia Masters and Thailand Open. They also made it to their first ever BWF Superseries final at the French Open. They finished as runners-up in all these tournaments.

All England Champion: 2016

The year 2016 was a big one for Praveen and Debby. In January, they won the Syed Modi International in India. Then, in March, they achieved a huge victory. They won their first All England Open title! This is one of the most famous badminton tournaments in the world.

Praveen and Debby also played in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. They reached the quarter-finals but lost to their teammates, who went on to win the gold medal. Later that year, they reached the finals of the Hong Kong Open.

Continued Success: 2017

In 2017, Praveen and Debby continued to compete at a high level. They reached the finals of the Swiss Open and the Australian Open. In September, they won the Korea Open Superseries title.

New Partner: Melati Daeva Oktavianti (2018–2019)

In 2019, they reached several finals, including the India Open, New Zealand Open, Australian Open, and Japan Open. They were runners-up in all these events. However, their hard work paid off in October 2019. They won their first BWF World Tour title at the Denmark Open. A week later, they won another big title at the French Open. These wins helped them break into the top 5 in the world rankings!

Olympic Debut and New Challenges: 2020–2022

In 2020, Praveen won his second All England Open title with Melati. They beat a strong Thai pair in the final. However, many tournaments were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In January 2022, Praveen and Melati left the national team. They continued to play under their club, PB Djarum. They reached the quarter-finals of the All England Open again. Unfortunately, Praveen suffered a hip injury at the Asian Championships, which caused them to retire from a match. He needed surgery for a back problem and spent the rest of 2022 recovering. The Badminton World Federation gave them a "protected rank" to help them keep their world ranking while Praveen recovered.

Returning to the Court: 2023
