Meet Suruchi Singh Shooter

Meet Suruchi Singh, the shooter, India’s latest shooting sensation, who’s redefining precision sports with her sharp aim and unshakeable focus. At just 18, she has become a beacon of hope for many aspiring shooters and a shining example of the next generation of young Indian sportswomen.

In a country where cricket dominates headlines, Suruchi Singh shooter, is winning gold and hearts, both nationally and internationally.

Humble Beginnings in Haryana

Suruchi was born in Jhajjar, Haryana, a state known for producing fearless athletes. Inspired by discipline and values, her father, Havildar Inder Singh, began searching for a training center that could shape both her skill and character.

That search led them to Guru Dronacharya Shooting Academy in Gurugram, where retired Army man Suresh Singh transformed her from a novice to a national champion.

Here, discipline, tradition, and focus weren’t just words — they were the foundation of training.

The Breakthrough: National Glory

Her real turning point came in 2024, when Suruchi Singh shooter bagged an astonishing seven gold medals at the Nationals in Delhi. This feat was followed by two more golds at the National Games in Uttarakhand, making her one of the most talked-about women shooters from Haryana.

The media soon labeled her an Indian shooting sensation in 2025, and rightly so. Her credits began to roll alongside those of Hollywood heavyweights like Heena Sidhu and Manu Bhaker.

Dominating the ISSF World Cup Circuit

Suruchi’s dominance didn’t stop at the national level. She made her international debut at the ISSF World Cup and went on to secure three gold medals — one of which was in the 10m Air Pistol Mixed Team event, when she competed alongside Olympian Saurabh Chaudhary, a partnership that resulted in their highly acclaimed mixed team winning gold.

Thanks to his impressive performance, Suruchi Singh Shooter is now officially one of the top Indian shooters in the ISSF World Cup.

Why She Stands Out

While many talented shooters compete globally, what makes Suruchi Singh a unique shooter is her mindset. Initially impatient and emotionally driven, her coach emphasized the importance of controlling impulses.

“She used to shoot for hours, but couldn’t finish a match in time. I told her, 'To be a champion, you must master your emotions.' She did — and the results followed,” said Coach Suresh.

Now, she is known not just for her accuracy but for her calm composure in high-pressure moments.

Discipline and Training: The X-Factor

Under the guidance of her coach at Guru Dronacharya Shooting Academy, Suruchi adopted a training regime focused on system, rhythm, and mental control.

The coach told her and her father, "If it's my method, it’s not just about pulling the trigger — it’s about understanding your craft." That mindset changed everything for Suruchi Singh shooter.

And it worked — she went from an enthusiastic beginner to one of the 10m air pistol champions India has today.

A Role Model for Young Indian Sportswomen

In an era where young girls are stepping into sports more confidently, Suruchi Singh shooter, is a trailblazer. She’s showing that excellence is not limited by background or gender.

For many young Indian sportswomen, her story is a reminder that success is built on consistency, dedication, and the courage to push past failure.

  • 2 Golds – National Games, Uttarakhand (2024)

  • 2 Golds – ISSF World Cup (Individual, Peru & Argentina – 2025)

  • 1 Gold – ISSF World Cup Mixed Team, with Saurabh Chaudhary (2025)

  • 1 Bronze – Mixed Team, Argentina (2025)

  • ISSF World Cup India winners now have a new hero in Suruchi.

The Global Trade War & Sporting Challenges

While Suruchi’s rise has been meteoric, it’s worth noting that global challenges like economic slowdowns and trade wars (particularly between the US and China) have impacted international sports. Despite these disruptions, Suruchi Singh shooter has stayed on top of her game, showing mental toughness and adaptability, two vital traits of champions.

What's Next for Suruchi Singh?
