Avni Chaturvedi is one of the first female fighter pilots in India. She is from Rewa district which is in Madhya Pradesh. She was declared a fighter pilot for the first time along with his two comrades - Mohan Singh and Bhavna Kanth. All three were inducted into the fighter squadron of the Indian Air Force in June 2016. She was formally commissioned by the then Defense Minister Manohar Parrikar.

The 22-year-old Chaturvedi completed her training at Air Force Academy, Hyderabad. She did his schooling from Deoland, a small town in Shahdol district of Madhya Pradesh. She also passed the examination of the Indian Air Force in 2016 doing her graduation from Banasthali University of Technology, Rajasthan.
Her father is an executive engineer in parliamentary government and mother a housewife. Chaturvedi loves playing tennis and painting. She was inspired by the army officers of his family. She gained a few hours of flying experience from her college flying club which inspired her to join the Indian Air Force.
After completing a year of her training, she became a fighter pilot in June. She will be able to fly fighter jets such as Sukhoi and Tejas after completing the third phase of her training from Bidar adjacent to Karnataka.
