Miss Universe India is a beauty pageant under the Glamanand Group organisation that selects India's official representative to the Miss Universe pageant. [1]
Between 2012 and 2023, Miss Diva served as the official franchise for Miss Universe in India under the parent organisation, Femina Miss India. This meant they were entrusted with choosing Indian delegates to compete in the annual Miss Universe competition. During this period (from 2012 to 2023), Miss Diva crowned the Indian representatives as "Miss Diva Universe."
In February 2024, a new organization, spearheaded by National Director Nikhil Anand, was awarded the Miss Universe India franchise. This development led to the establishment of the independent Miss Universe India Organization. Under this new structure, a distinct and separate pageant will now be responsible for selecting India's Miss Universe representatives, both current and future (2024 onwards). [2] [3]
Furthermore, in March 2024, the Miss Universe India Organization initiated to accept franchises holders from each state/regional level and those representing the Indian community abroad to choose their delegates. These delegates will then gain access to official Miss Universe India merchandise.
