Pooja Thakur was born into a family of Army Personnel.
She spent her childhood shifting from one place to another; as her father was in the Indian Army.
Because of her father’s routine postings, Pooja had to attend different schools.
Initially, Pooja was reluctant to go to school; as she didn’t like the schools, the students, the books, and the uniforms.
Pooja was inspired by his father to join the Uniform Service.
In 2001, Pooja Thakur was commissioned into the Administrative Branch of the Indian Air Force.
She has been a part in developing India’s first IAF 3D Air-Combat Game called “Guardians of the Sky.”
Pooja has also been the part of India’s first Women’s Team of Skydiving. 
Since 2010, women have been allowed in the Air Force as full officers, after nearly 50 women officers (including Pooja Thakur), moved to court. More than 250 women were granted permanent commission after the high court ruled in their favour.
In January 2015, Pooja Thakur became the first female commanding officer to head the inter-services Guard of Honour inspected by the then US President Barack Obama at the Rashtrapati Bhawan.
