It’s time to celebrate yet another achievement as a new chapter in Indian badminton begins. The IOS Sports & Entertainment has officially signed next-gen sensation Tanvi Sharma, who showed a remarkable performance at the recently concluded US Open 2025 and finished as a runner-up. So, who is this rising star? And what exactly is the deal? Let’s find out.
Who Is Tanvi Sharma?
At just 16, Tanvi Sharma has already emerged as a formidable force on the international badminton circuit. She comes from a small town in India, Hoshiarpur in Punjab. Tanvi’s journey began early, guided by her mother, Meena Sharma, who is herself a former volleyball player. She introduced both Tanvi and her elder sister Radhika to the sport. By 2016, Tanvi was training at the prestigious Pullela Gopichand Academy, ready for a meteoric rise.
A Meteoric Rise
Tanvi Sharma’s career rise has been nothing short of remarkable. She made headlines by clinching gold at the Asia Team Championships 2024 and was part of the Uber Cup squad the same year. Her recent runner-up finish at the US Open Super 300 2025 in Iowa made her the youngest Indian to reach a BWF World Tour final, defeating multiple higher-ranked opponents before narrowly missing out on the title to Beiwen Zhang. Her fearless smashes have immediately drawn comparisons to legends like Saina Nehwal and PV Sindhu, and she’s already set her sights on the 2028 LA Olympics.
IOS Sports & Entertainment Partnership: A Game-Changer
The partnership with IOS Sports & Entertainment is a significant milestone for Tanvi Sharma. IOS, known for managing some of India’s top sporting icons, will now provide Tanvi with professional management, brand building, and commercial support as she navigates the demanding world of elite badminton. This backing is expected to amplify her presence both on and off the court, opening doors to new sponsorships and opportunities.
Rahul Trehan, COO of IOS Sports & Entertainment, said, “We are thrilled to welcome Tanvi to the IOS Sports and Entertainment family. Her impressive track record at such a young age, combined with her determination and work ethic, makes her an exciting addition to our roster. We believe she has the potential to achieve great things in badminton, and we’re committed to supporting her journey to the highest levels of the sport.”
What’s Next for Tanvi Sharma?
Tanvi Sharma is now ready for the Asian Junior Championships next month. Her journey so far has been marked by an insatiable hunger for improvement. As she continues to climb the world rankings, already inside the top 70, Tanvi Sharma is all set to inspire the next generation of Indian shuttlers. Keep an eye on Tanvi Sharma as Indian badminton’s next big hope is just getting started.
