IOS Sports and Entertainment has announced the signing of freshly minted badminton world number one junior women’s singles player Tanvi Sharma as an exclusive athlete.
The 16-year-old rising star from Hoshiarpur, Punjab, has already established herself as one of India’s most promising young shuttlers with multiple international medals to her name. Most recently, the young shuttler reached the final of the Super 300 US Open.
The official X handle of the Badminton Association of India posted: “At just 16, Teen Titan Tanvi Sharma is the new World No. 1 Junior Women’s Single Player. What a fantastic few weeks it has been for Tanvi! #Badminton #TanviSharma #TeenTitan #IndiaRising #IndianSports.”
Sharma, who competes in Girls/Women’s Singles, has achieved remarkable success at the continental level. Her standout achievements include a Silver Medal at the prestigious Badminton Asia Youth Championships 2023, a Gold Medal at the Badminton Asia Team Championships 2024, and a Silver Medal at the Senior National Championships 2023 – an exceptional feat for someone of her age competing against senior players.
“We are thrilled to welcome Tanvi to the IOS Sports and Entertainment family,” said Rahul Trehan, COO of IOS Sports and Entertainment. “Her impressive track record at such a young age, combined with her determination and work ethic, makes her an exciting addition to our roster.

Her signing represents IOS Sports and Entertainment’s commitment to identifying and nurturing promising athletes who can make their mark on the global stage.
Looking ahead, Tanvi is preparing for the Asian Junior Championships and the World Junior Championships, both of which will be held in India. She also hopes to take part in higher-level tournaments in the future.
“I am playing the Asian Junior Championships next month. After that, there is the World Junior Championships. Both of these tournaments are in India. I will try to do well in that. I want to play well in the Super 300 and 500,” ANI quotes Tanvi as having said.
