==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 [[COVID-19 pandemic|pandemic]], she kept her practice going at a makeshift range.<ref name="ss4">{{cite news |date=16 April 2025 |title=Suruchi Singh: How a shooting star took shape at India's boxing bastion |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/sports/suruchi-singh-how-a-shooting-star-took-shape-at-indias-boxing-bastion/articleshow/120340551.cms?from=mdr |access-date=18 April 2025 |newspaper=[[The Economic Times]]}}</ref>
