Right from childhood, Col. Singh led his school's cricket and football teams at state and national levels, alongside high-impact sports like handball.

Serving nearly 35 years in the armed forces instills resilience for any challenge. On the glacier above 18,000 feet, where oxygen is thin, even walking a few hundred yards takes a heavy toll — forging character that lasts.
