There is no age limit.. I know of people in their 70's who still enjoy competitive shooting..

Shooting as a career in India? Fairly difficult. Move to the US shoot multiple disciplines F/TR, Military, Long Range, 3 Gun, Tactical, IDPSA and BR. Always finish in the top ten in all disciplines and you might have a chance of making a career out of it.
Sponsorships are far a few inbetween. Not something that you can make a career per se out of, unless you run a top notch gunshop and smithing business making competitive guns that help people win. I know custom gun makers who barely eke out a living, and others that do fairly ok. None are millionaires though.
A career out of airgun shooting, still have to hear of a successful one, where someone has actually made a ton of money. Including Bindra.

Dear Ali,
You look a lot younger than 30 years in your picture!
In all seriousness, as mentioned there are people who are competitive in their 70's, so age is no barrier and you have AT LEAST 40 more years! Now if you want to have corporations sponsor you, they usually will want to get some sort of return on their investment so you either have to place well, or even if you do not find a company that wishes to endorse you simply because you are doing something you enjoy doing.
I had a flight instructor who, in his 60's, decided he wanted to get into competitive aerobatics (in airplanes) and ended up as 5th in the nation and if a person can do that, a person can be competitive shooting for quite a long time. All you need is the desire.
