Before 2023, Indian delegates for Miss Grand International were chosen through various national contests or direct appointments. These included the Indian Princess pageant (2013-2014), Femina Miss India (2015-2019, 2021), and Glamanand Supermodel India (2020, 2022).[1][3]
India has participated in Miss Grand International since 2013, securing five placements till day.[4][5][6][7][8][9]
History
India has consistently participated in Miss Grand International since 2013. Initially, from 2013 to 2014, the rights to send Indian delegates belonged to the organizer of the Indian princess, managed by the Atharva Group of Institutes. One of their pageant finalists represented India at Miss Grand International.[10][11][12][13] In 2015, The Times Group, organizer of Femina Miss India, acquired the license. Subsequently, India's Miss Grand International representatives were chosen through Femina Miss India until 2022.[4][5][6][7] The franchise was then granted to the Glamanand Group, leading to the establishment of Miss Grand India as a separate pageant in 2023.[1][14]
