Bhawana Kanth is one of the first female fighter pilots of India.^[2]^[3]^[4] She was declared as the first combat pilot along with two of her cohort, Mohana Singh, and Avani Chaturvedi. The trio was inducted into the Indian Air Force fighter squadron in June 2016. They were formally commissioned by Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar.^[5] After the government of India decided to open the fighter stream in India Air Force for women on an experimental basis, these three women were the first to be selected for the program.^[6]

In May 2019, she became the first female fighter pilot in India to qualify to undertake combat missions.^[7]
