Singh has competed as a pistol shooter on the Indian national circuit and has featured in international events organised under the umbrella of the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF). Indian pistol shooters of her era trained primarily under the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI), the country's governing body for the sport, and competed in events such as the 10 m air pistol and 25 m pistol categories.
The period in which Singh competed coincided with a notable rise in Indian shooting, marked by performances from athletes such as Abhinav Bindra, Gagan Narang, Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, Heena Sidhu and Rahi Sarnobat at major multi-sport events including the Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games and Asian Games. Indian women's pistol shooting in particular gained prominence at the Commonwealth Games and ISSF World Cup circuits during this time.
As an Indian woman competing in pistol shooting, Singh is part of a cohort that contributed to the growth of the discipline in India, where shooting has emerged as one of the country's most consistently successful Olympic sports.
