Miss Supranational India

India first participated in the Miss Supranational pageant in 2011, with Michelle Almeida representing the country. She was selected by the Indian Princess organization and made it to the top 20, winning the Miss Supranational Asia and Oceania title in 2011. In 2013, the pageant’s license was acquired by The Times Group, and Vijaya Sharma, chosen through Femina Miss India 2013, also placed in the top 20 at Miss Supranational 2013.[2]

From 2014 onwards, India’s representatives were selected through Miss Diva, a sister pageant of Femina Miss India. In the same year, Asha Bhat won the Miss Supranational 2014 crown, becoming India’s first titleholder at the international event.[3]

Between 2016 and 2023, the runner-up of Miss Diva held the title of Miss Diva Supranational. However, starting in 2024, the primary Miss Diva winner will now be awarded the Miss Diva Supranational title, marking a shift in the pageant’s structure.[4]

Mister Supranational India

India began participating in the Mister Supranational pageant in 2016, with Jitesh Naresh Thakur representing the country through the Mister India competition. Thakur achieved a 2nd Runner-up finish and won the title of Mister Supranational Asia.[5]

In 2023, the Mister Supranational India license was held by Himadri Bhatnagar's organization, which sent Raj Sunil Singh as their first delegate. However, Singh did not advance to the semi-finals, marking the end of India's placement streak in the competition.[6]

In 2024, The Times Group regained the license to select India's future representatives, starting with the 2025 edition of Mister Supranational.[7][8]

International Victories

[edit]

India has won two Miss Supranational titles and one Mister Supranational title.

The first Miss Supranational victory came in 2014 when Asha Bhat won the title, making India the second Asian country to achieve this.[9][10] In 2016, Srinidhi Shetty secured India’s second Miss Supranational title, making India the only country with two wins till day.[11][12]

In 2018, Prathamesh Maulingkar became the first Indian to win Mister Supranational. He remains the only Asian to have won the Mister Supranational title so far.[13][14][15][16]
