About Major D P Singh

Major Devender Pal Singh, widely known as Major D.P. Singh, is an extraordinary symbol of courage, resilience, and the unbeatable spirit of India. Born in 1973, he is a retired Indian Army officer and a proud Kargil War veteran whose life story continues to inspire millions. During the 1999 Kargil conflict, Major Singh sustained life-threatening injuries that led to the amputation of his right leg. But instead of accepting defeat, he chose to rebuild his life with unparalleled determination, emerging as India’s first blade runner and one of the country’s most inspiring endurance athletes.

Over the years, he has completed 26 half marathons, including challenging high-altitude events, running every single one of them on his prosthetic limb. His achievements have transformed him into a global example of grit, mental toughness, and the power of human will. When you book Major D.P. Singh for an event, you bring to your audience a man whose life reflects what it means to rise after unimaginable adversity.

His inspiring journey has earned him several prestigious recognitions. He was featured in the Limca Book of Records – People of the Year 2016, received the National Award for Persons with Disabilities (2018), and was honoured with the CavinKare Ability Mastery Award (2019) for excelling against overwhelming odds. The Indian Army appointed him as the Ambassador for Disabled Soldiers in 2018, acknowledging his role in motivating countless combat-injured soldiers.

Major Singh’s adventurous spirit does not end with marathons, he also became India’s first solo skydiver with disabilities in 2019. His remarkable life story is documented in the graphic memoir “Grit: The Major Story,” which he co-authored to share his message of perseverance with newer generations. Inviting Major D.P. Singh as a motivational speaker ensures an unforgettable and empowering experience. His sessions are packed with real stories of courage, survival, resilience, and the belief that no setback is powerful enough to define one’s life.
