Singh migrated to India during India’s partition in 1947 with his family from Gah, West Punjab, in what is today Pakistan. After receiving his doctorate in economics from Oxford, Singh worked for the United Nations from 1966 to 1969. In the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, he was hired as an advisor by Lalit Narayan Mishra subsequently.
