Surya's Kabaddi journey began in the 9th grade when he joined a local club in his area, Dravidan Sports Club. His talent and dedication led him to be selected for the Sports Authority of India (SAI) when he was in the 11th grade, and he continues to represent SAI. Excelling as a Left Cover Defender, his expertise lies in executing precise chain holds. Under the mentorship of coaches T P Madhialagan (SAI COACH), Vinayagamurthy, Vetrivel, Puviarasu and Sathish, Surya refines his skills at SAI, Nehru Stadium. While he admires Abinesh Natarajan for his cover position skills, Surya himself excels in both chain holds and blocking.

Beyond Kabaddi, Surya enjoys playing football. Currently pursuing his Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree, he harbors aspirations of winning a medal in the Senior Nationals, playing in the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL), and securing a job in the field of sports. With his determination and skill set, Surya is poised to achieve great success in both his academic and sporting endeavors.
