College of Commerce and Economics in Mumbai, Singh realised that getting a break in the film industry was not easy. Feeling that the idea of acting was "too far-fetched", Singh focused on creative writing. He went to the United States where he received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Telecommunications from Indiana University Bloomington in 2008.{{cite magazine |title=The College's 20 Under 40 |journal=The College |date=Fall 2021 |url=https://magazine.college.indiana.edu/issues/fall-2021/articles/20-under-40.html |access-date=25 December 2022 |publisher=Indiana University Bloomington |archive-date=26 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221226005015/https://magazine.college.indiana.edu/issues/fall-2021/articles/20-under-40.html |url-status=live}} At the university, he decided to take acting classes and took up theatre as his minor.{{cite web|url=https://openthemagazine.com/cover-stories/ranveer-singh-a-hero-of-our-time/|title=Ranveer Singh: A Hero of Our Time|website=Open|last=Unny|first=Divya|date=14 March 2019|access-date=31 January 2024}}

After completing his studies and returning to Mumbai in 2007, Singh worked for a few years in advertising as a copywriter, with agencies like O&M and J. Walter Thompson.{{cite journal|url=http://www.pinkvilla.com/entertainment/discussion/ranveer-singh-star-magazine-star-born-do-you-agree-or-not |title=Ranveer Singh – A Star Is Born |last=Varde |first=Ashwin |date=24 December 2010 |journal=Starweek Magazine |publisher=Magna Publication Co.

He then decided to send his portfolio to directors. He would go for all kinds of auditions, but did not get any good opportunities, while only getting calls for minor roles: "Everything was so bleak. It was very frustrating. There were times I would think whether I was doing the right thing or not."

In 2010, Singh auditioned for a lead role in Maneesh Sharma's Band Baaja Baaraat, a romantic comedy from the production company Yash Raj Films.

Following Band Baaja Baaraat, Singh signed on for Ladies vs Ricky Bahl, a romantic comedy once again produced by Chopra, directed by Maneesh Sharma, and co-starring Anushka Sharma. He played a conman Ricky Bahl who cons girls for a living but finally meets his match.{{cite web|url=http://businessofcinema.com/bollywood-news/yrfs-ladies-vs-ricky-bahl-goes-on-floors-in-delhi/33056 |title=YRF's Ladies V/S Ricky Bahl goes on floors in Delhi |date=6 April 2011 |access-date=8 April 2011 |publisher=Business of Cinema |location=Mumbai |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131023061344/http://businessofcinema.com/bollywood-news/yrfs-ladies-vs-ricky-bahl-goes-on-floors-in-delhi/33056 |archive-date=23 October 2013 }} According to Singh, the title character had various avatars in the film, including a chirpy, entertaining side and a sinister side.
