Early life

Suruchi was born in the Sasroli village of Jhajjar district in Haryana, into a family with a strong sporting lineage. Her father, Havildar Inder Singh, initially aspired for her to pursue wrestling, inspired by his cousin, Virender Singh, a Deaflympics gold medalist. But she gravitated towards shooting and began her training aged 13 at the Guru Dronacharya Shooting Academy in Bhiwani under coach Suresh Singh. During the pandemic, she kept her practice going at a makeshift range. ^[5]
