Sharma was given the title of India's fastest female Racer after securing a top-five position in the [[Mercedes-Benz|Mercedes]] young star driver program. Because of not having a sponsor or a strong economic background, the teachers who taught her about basics of braking and cornering were simple mechanics and Sneha has performed various jobs at the race track to subsidise her racing fee. As of today Sneha receives sponsorship for her racing career from JK Tyre and [[IndiGo|Indigo airlines]]. Currently, in various categories, Sneha has won over all, six race victories and 14 runner up positions.
