History

The company was established as a limited company on November 6, 2013, with an authorized capital of one million Bath, and is chaired by Nawat Itsaragrisil, [3] a Thai television host and producer who had previously served as producer of Miss Thailand World for BEC-Tero. After ending his role with BEC-Tero, Nawat signed a business partnership with Channel 7 and subsequently established his national pageant, Miss Grand Thailand, in mid-2013 and the newly established international pageant, Miss Grand International, which was managed by the Miss Grand International Co., Ltd.. [5] [8]

Alongside its flagship beauty pageant, the company eventually expanded and diversified into the food-processing and cosmetics industries in 2018 as well as the talent management sector in 2019, [4] which led the company to increase its authorized capital to 50 and 75 million Baht in 2020 and 2022, respectively. [6] [7]

The MGI Co., Ltd. was transformed into a public limited company with a registered capital of 105 million Baht on June 15, 2022, and was listed on the Market for Alternative Investment (MAI) on December 14, 2023. [4] [9] [1] In the corporation with Karmarts, its subsidiary, KMGI Co., Ltd., was established in February 2023 to be responsible for the cosmetics section specifically. [2]
