He won a gold medal for Team Canada in powerlifting at the North American Powerlifting Championships in Panama City 2 last October. Recently , he also competed in Winnipeg at Nationals, which is the biggest powerlifting event in Canada and won a gold in bench press in the 93 kg weight class.

Sharma started to give back to the community by training youth in the lower mainland for free. Also, he has been going to schools all over the lower mainland to give a presentation on powerlifting and dieting since January 2021.
