His transition into television saw him working as a programmer and associate music director for Mahesh Naik, before independently scoring the award-winning TV show Kagaar (2002). He went on to win multiple Telly Awards for shows like Goonj – Ateet Ki (2003), Sarrrkar (2005), Laado (2009), and the iconic Balika Vadhu (2010), for which he was also honored by the Jaipur International Film Festival for promoting Rajasthani music.

 In 2017, he received the Global Film Festival Award for Best Music Composer. Beyond composition, Aashish is a force for advocacy, serving as General Secretary of the Music Composers' Association of India, on the Board of Directors for IPRS, and Vice Chairman of APMA (Asia Pacific Music Creators Alliance)—positions reflecting his commitment to bolstering creators’ rights and industry standards
