Career
Singhraj began his shooting journey relatively late, taking up air-pistol shooting in 2017 at the age of 35. Competing in the SH1 classification, which covers athletes with lower limb or arm impairments who can support the firearm themselves, he made his international debut at the 2018 World Shooting Para Sport Championships in Cheongju, South Korea.
Within months of entering the international circuit he started collecting podium finishes. In 2018 he earned medals at the Châteauroux World Cup, including a team gold and an individual silver in P4 events. That year he also won bronze at the Para Asian Games in Jakarta. The following year, 2019, proved strong domestically and internationally: he collected medals at the 62nd National Shooting Championships in Kerala and contributed to podiums at World Cup stages and the World Championships.
Singhraj continued his momentum into 2021. In March he won gold at the Para Sport World Cup in Al Ain, UAE, defeating former Paralympic medallist Server Ibragimov in the final. Later that year, at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics held in 2021, he earned two Paralympic medals: a bronze in the Men’s P1 10 metre air pistol SH1 and a silver in the Mixed 50m pistol SH1. His bronze final score (237.9) marked a personal best and represented one of India’s early medals at the Asaka shooting range during the Games.
Throughout his career he has worked with coach Subhash Rana. His competitive record includes multiple team and individual medals across World Cups and World Championships in P1, P4 and P6 events.

Following his Tokyo medals, he spoke publicly about techniques he used to recover composure in competition, mentioning brief meditation suggested by his coaches.
