In advance of 2023, Indian representatives at [[Miss Grand International]] were elected by different organizers through other national contests or by appointment: from 2013 to 2014 by the organizer of the Indian Princess pageant, Atharva Group of Institutes;<ref name=india2013/><ref name=prince2013/><ref name=india2014/><ref name=prince2014/> from 2015 to 2019 and 2021 by [[The Times Group]] through the [[Femina Miss India]] contest;<ref name=india2015/><ref name=india2016/><ref name=india2017/><ref name=india2018/> and in 2020 and 2022 by the Glamanand Group through the [[Glamanand Supermodel India]] pageant.<ref name=india2020/><ref name=india2022/>

Since the first participation in 2013, Indian representatives got placements at [[Miss Grand International]] four times; the highest position is the first and second runners-up, obtained by [[Meenakshi Chaudhary]] and [[Vartika Singh]] in 2018 and 2015, respectively.<ref name=res18/><ref name=res15/>

==History==
India has always participated in [[Miss Grand International]] since 2013. In the first two years, 2013 to 2014, the right to send Indian delegates to compete at Miss Grand International belonged to the organizer of the Indian Princess pageant, which was managed by Atharva Group of Institutes, and one of its finalists was chosen to join Miss Grand International.<ref name=india2013/><ref name=prince2013/><ref name=india2014/><ref name=prince2014/> In 2015, the license was taken over by the organizer of [[Femina Miss India]], [[The Times Group]], and the country representatives for Miss Grand International were directly determined through such a national pageant each year,<ref name=india2015/><ref name=india2016/><ref name=india2017/><ref name=india2018/> until the franchise was granted to [[Glamanand Supermodel India|Glamanand Group]] in 2023 when Miss Grand India was organized as a separate pageant.<ref name=india2023/><ref name=india2023n/>
