Miss Grand India is a national beauty pageant that selects India's official representative to the Miss Grand International pageant.[1][2]
India has been competing in Miss Grand International since 2013, achieving six placements to date. In 2024, Rachel Gupta was crowned Miss Grand International, marking India’s first-ever victory at the pageant.[3][4][5][6][7][8]
India has been sending representatives to Miss Grand International since 2013. Initially, from 2013 to 2014, the rights to select Indian delegates were held by the Atharva Group of Institutes, which organized the Indian princess pageant. During this period, one of the pageant's finalists represented India at Miss Grand International.[9][10][11][12]
In 2015, the license was acquired by The Times Group, which organizes Femina Miss India. From 2015 to 2022, India's representatives for Miss Grand International were selected through the Femina Miss India competition.[3][4][5][6] In 2023, the franchise was transferred to the Glamanand Group, which launched Miss Grand India as a standalone pageant.[1][13][14]
India won its first Miss Grand International title in 2024, when Rachel Gupta was crowned on October 25, 2024, in Thailand. Rachel was the fourth representative sent by the Glamanand Group and the twelfth overall to represent India in the competition.[15]
In December 2024, Star Entertainment Productions, led by Akanksha Thakur, acquired the national license for Miss Grand India.[16]
