Ponnappa, along with Gutta, failed to even qualify for the All England Championship before making the first round exit at the Swiss Open this season.
"We are not losing hearts even though we have lost. You have to see we got some tough draws. We are looking to get back to the form at the Indian Open. It's about learning from our mistakes. We are getting better with each tournament. When you play well, you know that you are going in the right direction," Ashwini told PTI here.
Ponappa, who will be defending her doubles title with Jwala at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow this year, also exuded confidence of putting up a good show at the quadrennial event.
"It's still some time to go for CWG. We are working in that direction," said Ashwini, who partners Tarun Kona in the mixed doubles.
After the Indian Open, the Bangalore shuttler would be seen in action at the Singapore Open.
