[6] [7] For 2022, Gowda stepped up to OK karting, where he struggled and only managed to take a best result of 29th place in the championship, achieved in the WSK Super Master Series. [8]

Gowda was announced to be moving to cars for the 2023 season, by joining the grid for the 2023 Formula 4 UAE Championship. Gowda had a tough season driving for Carlin, but he showed promise by finishing in the points on two occasions and ending the season in 25th in the standings. [9]

F4 British Championship

For the remainder of the 2023 season, Gowda joined Rodin Carlin for a full season of the 2023 F4 British Championship.

[13]

Italian F4 Championship

After his encouraging campaign in the F4 British Championship the previous year, Prema Racing signed Gowda for a full Italian F4 and Euro 4 campaign in 2024.
