Hardeep was born on 20 December 1990 in a farming family of the Dahola village of Haryana’s Jind district. Hardeep was always fascinated towards the homegrown games like Kabaddi and Wrestling since his schools days. He started wrestling at the very early age of 13 years and then never looked back. His coach identified his talent and got him admitted to a sports school, which taught him the wrestling basics. Singh then trained at Sports Authority of India’s regional centre for three years.

As he made a good impression there, he was sent to Chhatrasal Stadium of Delhi to further hone his skills. He trained for four years there. During that period, he also got employed in the Indian Railways. It is noteworthy that he started as a freestyle wrestler during his early days but shifted to the Greco-Roman style after the 2009 Junior National Wrestling Championships.

Inspired from the ace Indian wrestlers Yogeshwar Dutt and Sushil Kumar, Hardeep is flying Indian Colors at the international events.

He became Commonwealth Champion in 2013 and finished as runner-up at the 2016 Asian Wrestling Championships. In March 2016, he became the first Indian heavyweight Greco-Roman wrestler to qualify for the Olympics.

Only Olympian from his village, Hardeep had his most successful outing in commonwealth championships.
