Miss Grand India 2023 Explained
Miss Grand India 2023 or – Miss Grand India 2023,[1] was the inaugural edition of the Miss Grand India pageant, held by the Glamanand Group on September 19, 2023,[2] at the Rambagh Palace Hotel, Jaipur, Rajasthan. Eighteen candidates, who qualified for the national pageant through an online profile screening, competed for the title,[3] [4] of whom a 24-year-old model from the host city, Arshina Sumbul, was announced as the winner,[2] [5] [3] while a businessperson from New Delhi, Sophhiya Sing, was named Miss Tourism India, and the vice-miss title was awarded to an Assamese clinical researcher, Rajashree Dowarah.[3] [4]
Arshina later represented India at the Miss Grand International 2023 pageant, held in Vietnam on October 25, 2023, while Sophhiya Sing was to compete at the Miss Tourism World 2023 held in November 2023.[6]
The pageant grand final was hosted by Miss Teen International 2019 Aayushi Dholakia and Miss Teen Universe runner-up Wachi Pareek.[7]
Background
After Glamanand Group obtained the Miss Grand India license in 2020, the country representatives for Miss Grand International were usually determined through the Glamanand Supermodel India pageant,[8] [9] [10] in which the main winners were sent to compete at Miss International in that particular year.[11] [12] Due to losing the license of Miss International for India to another organizer in early 2023, the Miss International India 2023 titleholder, Kashish Methwani, who obtained the title from the Glamanand Supermodel India 2022 contest, was assigned as the country representative for Miss Grand International 2023 instead;[13] the appointment was officially declared on June 4.[6] [14]
However, according to an agreement between the Miss Grand International PLC and Glamanand Group regarding the selection process of the Indian representative for the Miss Grand International 2023 pageant, the procedure must be done via a national contest, which caused the appointed Kashish Methwani to be refused, and the Glamanand Group later organized the pageant in late September to elect the replacement.[15]
