Sayyed competes in pistol shooting, a discipline regulated internationally by the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) and within India by the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI). The 25 metre pistol event in which she specialises is contested by women at the Olympic Games, the World Championships, the Asian Games and the Commonwealth Games.
Sayyed gained prominence on the international stage through her performances at the Commonwealth Games, where she won medals in the women's 25 metre pistol events, contributing to India's strong showing in shooting at multi-sport games during that period. Indian women pistol shooters of her generation were part of a broader cohort that included athletes such as Rahi Sarnobat and Heena Sidhu, with whom Indian teams in the 25 m pistol pairs and team events were typically composed.
Sayyed's career forms part of the rise of Indian women in international shooting through the 2000s and 2010s, a period in which India established itself as a competitive nation in pistol and rifle shooting at the Commonwealth and Asian level.
