Tina Dabi first came into the limelight when she topped the 2015 Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) civil services exam on her first attempt. Her administrative service started from Ajmer, where she was appointed to the post of assistant collector.

Her younger sister Ria Dabi also cleared the UPSC exam in 2020 and secured 15th rank.

Tina Dabi was posted as the Employment Guarantee Scheme (EGS) Commissioner in Jaipur before becoming a district magistrate in Barmer. Her husband Pradeep Gawande, a 2013-batch IAS officer and qualified doctor, was transferred from Bikaner to Jalore earlier this month.
