Template:Image frame Miss Grand India is an Indian national female beauty pageant,[1][2] founded in 2023 by a New Delhi-based event organizer, Glamanand Group.[3] The winners of the contest represent the country at its parent international platform, Miss Grand International.[1][4]

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;[5][6][7][8] from 2015 to 2019 and 2021 by The Times Group through the Femina Miss India contest;[9][10][11][12] and in 2020 and 2022 by the Glamanand Group through the Glamanand Supermodel India pageant.[13][14]

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.[15][16]

History[edit | edit source]

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.[5][6][7][8] 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,[9][10][11][12] until the franchise was granted to Glamanand Group in 2023 when Miss Grand India was organized as a separate pageant.[1][2]
