Early and personal life
editRanvir was born on 19 July 2004 in Hasselt, Belgium. The son of Belgian businessman Ranvir Singh, Triman was first introduced to football in his childhood. He later moved from Hasselt to Kampenhout and settled there.[3] Both of his parents are Indian, born in Punjab, raised in the country, and belonged to the city of Jalandhar.[4]
It's a difficult choice and has a lot of risk involved. I am the first person from the top 6–7 footballing countries in Europe to have taken such a step. I had tears in my eyes at the airport thinking that there would be no coming back to Belgium. But it is a great time to be part of Indian football, the potential for growth is immense. I want to be part of that growth and eventually play for the Indian team.
— Triman Ranvir, on his move to Indian football from Belgium.[3]
Ranvir is a practitioner of Sikhism and is of Indian Punjabi heritage. In March 2023, he left Belgium and arrived in India to change his nationality and eventually play for the India national football team.[3] In his football life, Ranvir idolizes both Sunil Chhetri and Manvir Singh.[4]
I have got much love in India and after my tour in India I have started reciving [sic] more love from Indian people. Generally I don't get such response from Belgium. In India, the passion is more than that of Belgium.
— Triman Ranvir, on considering India as future.[5]
Ranvir holds Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) card.[6][7]
