In February 2017, she competed at the world single distance championships for the first time. That same month, she competed at the world sprint championships for a second time.

On 28 December 2017, Das won the 500 meter event at the Dutch qualification tournament for the 2018 Olympic Games, beating all expected favorites.

On 17 March 2020, Das announced her retirement from professional speed skating.
