{{BLP unreferenced section|date=August 2023}}<br />
Sharma was born in [[Narnaul|Narnaul, Mahendragarh]], [[Haryana]]. He graduated in [[medicine]] at the [[Pandit Bhagwat Dayal Sharma Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences]] in 1987. He studied [[radiation oncology]] there until 1994. He also obtained a [[Diplomate of National Board]] degree in radiation oncology from the [[National Board of Examinations]] in 1998.<br />
<br />
He joined AIIMS, New Delhi in 2003 and attained the position of [[professor]] and head. During his headship of the Department of Radiotherapy, the AIIMS administration issued a letter in November 2022 to abolish the practice of chemotherapy in his department. The letter cites a reason that "doctors of the radiotherapy department are often busy administering chemotherapy, which is also leading to lesser availability of their time for specific radiotherapy treatment."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Notices |url=https://www.aiims.edu/index.php/en/notices/notices|access-date=2023-07-26 |website=AIIMS NEW}}</ref><br />
