Draft:Miss Universe India 2024

Miss Universe India 2024 will be the inaugural edition of the new Miss Universe India beauty pageant. The pageant is under the leadership of the Glamanand Group, owned by National Director Nikhil Anand. Previously, the Miss Universe India franchise was held by the Miss Diva Organization, owned by the Times Group.

Contestants from all Indian states and an Indian representative from the UAE will compete in the pageant. The winner will represent India at Miss Universe 2024, to be held in Mexico.

Selection of participants
In early May, National Director Nikhil Anand announced on social media that contestants would be selected from each Indian state. Each state will have a sole representative competing in the final event. Franchise opportunities to manage state-level competitions were then opened up. Prominent figures from the business world and beauty queens acquired franchises for various states.

Applications for contestants at the Miss Universe state level subsequently opened. Each state will independently conduct auditions, grooming sessions, styling sessions, training, and finalize their representative. Once all state representatives are announced, they will compete for the title of Miss Universe India at the grand finale in October 2024.

14 contestants has been confirmed to participate.
