My participation in Mrs. India Worldwide 2021 gave me valuable insight into the pageant industry from a contestant’s perspective. It taught me that beyond a title or recognition, women need a platform that builds confidence, encourages personal growth, and opens doors to new opportunities.

This understanding became the foundation of VEC Queen of India. As its Founder and CEO, I wanted to create more than a conventional beauty pageant—a platform that celebrates women across different phases of life, recognising their individuality, ambition, and inner strength.

From our first season in Goa to Jaipur and now Gurugram, our journey has been driven by this purpose. With distinguished celebrity juries, including Chitrangda Singh, Neelam Kothari, and Ameesha Patel, each season has helped us strengthen our platform and expand its reach.

Ultimately, my vision is for every woman to leave VEC Queen of India with more than a crown—with greater self-belief, meaningful connections, and the confidence to pursue her aspirations. For me, true success lies in empowering women to recognise their own potential.

The larger purpose of VEC Queen of India is to create a platform that goes beyond beauty and celebrates women’s confidence, individuality, and achievements at every stage of life. Through Vesna Event Crafters, my vision is to build a credible, inclusive, and professionally managed platform that empowers women with meaningful opportunities, visibility, and personal growth.

Having successfully completed three seasons, we continue to evolve with a strong commitment to our purpose. In the years to come, I want VEC Queen of India to be recognised not merely as a pageant, but as a trusted national platform for women’s empowerment, where every participant feels valued, every achievement is celebrated, and every woman is encouraged to realise her full potential.

What sets VEC Queen of India apart is our belief that a pageant should be about much more than winning a crown. Our focus is on celebrating individuality, building confidence, and creating meaningful opportunities for women across different stages of life. With three successful seasons in Goa, Jaipur, and Gurugram, we continue to build a platform rooted in professionalism, inclusivity, and women’s empowerment.

I believe contestants today should look beyond glamour and visibility when choosing a pageant. They should evaluate the organisation’s credibility, the quality of its grooming and mentorship, the opportunities it offers, and the values it represents. Most importantly, they should choose a platform that respects their individuality and supports their growth. A credible pageant should not just give you a title; it should give you the confidence, experience, and opportunities to take your journey forward.

One of the most defining milestones in my entrepreneurial journey has been building VEC Queen of India into a platform that has successfully completed three seasons across Goa, Jaipur, and Gurugram.

As an entrepreneur, I have learnt that creativity may bring an idea to life, but consistency, strategic thinking, and trust are what sustain it. The most difficult lesson has been understanding that growth takes time and that not every decision delivers immediate results. Building a credible brand requires patience, adaptability, and the courage to keep moving forward through challenges. For me, success is not just about creating a memorable event; it is about building an organisation that delivers on its promises and creates lasting value for the women who place their trust in us.

Being recognised as a Pageant Visionary by Perfect Woman Magazine and receiving the IFSA Super Woman Award have been deeply encouraging milestones in my journey. These honours reaffirm my belief in the vision behind VEC Queen of India and motivate me to continue building a platform that creates meaningful opportunities for women.

I believe recognition brings responsibility. As a woman entrepreneur, I understand that my journey may inspire others to pursue their ambitions, and I consider that a privilege. For me, true success lies not just in personal achievements, but in using my experience to encourage other women to believe in themselves, challenge limitations, and create their own paths. These recognitions inspire me to lead with greater purpose and remain committed to women’s empowerment.

At VEC Queen of India, we believe that a crown should celebrate a woman’s identity, not define it. Every contestant comes with a different story, shaped by her experiences, choices, and aspirations. Our Ms. and Mrs. categories honour these differences, recognising that a woman’s potential cannot be measured by a single standard.

We look beyond appearances to understand the woman behind the contestant—her confidence, perspective, resilience, and ability to express herself. We want every participant to feel that her individuality is her strength, not something she needs to change to fit in.

My vision is simple: we are not here to create one definition of a queen; we are here to celebrate the many ways a woman can be one. Because true beauty is not about fitting into a mould; it is about having the confidence to stand apart.

For me, the crowning moment is the beginning of a new journey, not the end of one. At VEC Queen of India, we want our titleholders to have tangible opportunities to build their presence across fashion, media, and lifestyle.

These include podcast appearances, runway shows, FM radio interviews, magazine covers and photoshoots, and editorial interviews that help them establish their individual identities. We also aim to create opportunities for brand collaborations, event appearances, and networking with designers, industry professionals, and media representatives.

Every titleholder has different aspirations, so our goal is to help connect her with opportunities that align with her strengths and interests, whether in modelling, entrepreneurship, public speaking, or personal branding.

Ultimately, I want the VEC Queen of India title to carry value beyond the finale. The crown should open doors, create visibility, and give every queen a stronger platform from which to pursue her ambitions.

Having built VEC Queen of India over three seasons, I see every strategic partnership as an opportunity to strengthen our platform and create greater value for women.

Our journey has been supported by an incredible network of associate partners, including Vesna Tours Pvt. Ltd., Gilded Yard, M3M, Diyaan Diamonds, Humuss Beauty, Lakmé Academy by Aptech, 104.8 Ishq FM, Studio J Salon, Sharda University, and Lovely Professional University. Hilton Gurugram Baani City Centre served as our official hospitality partner and venue for the grand finale. These associations reflect the collaborative effort required to create a professionally managed and memorable experience.

For me, the real value of our association with TGPC lies in the possibilities it can open up for our contestants. I aspire to create greater access to industry networks, media exposure, and opportunities across fashion, beauty, and pageantry.

As a founder, I believe our responsibility extends beyond organising a successful event. It is about building relationships and creating opportunities that benefit our women long after the finale. My vision is to make VEC Queen of India a sustainable platform where every partnership contributes to a larger purpose: empowering women to grow, connect, and pursue their ambitions with confidence.

I believe the Indian pageant industry must move beyond glamorous finales and focus on credibility, professionalism, and long-term impact.

Key changes should include transparent judging criteria, clearly defined participation terms, professional grooming, and stronger collaborations with fashion designers, brands, and media houses. The industry must also embrace greater inclusivity and recognise women for their individuality, achievements, and potential.

At VEC Queen of India, I believe credibility comes from consistency, accountability, and delivering on our commitments. The future of Indian pageantry depends on building trust, maintaining professional standards, and creating platforms that deliver genuine value to their participants.

Building VEC Queen of India has come with challenges and moments of uncertainty, but my belief in the vision has kept me going. Creating a platform where women feel recognised, confident, and empowered has always been my strongest motivation.

Our journey across three seasons in Goa, Jaipur, and Gurugram has taught me the importance of patience, adaptability, and strategic partnerships. If I were starting again, I would focus earlier on long-term planning and sustainable growth.

What kept me going was the belief that I was building more than an event—I was building a platform with a purpose.

When people look back at my journey ten years from now, I hope they see a woman who had the courage to create her own path and used her success to empower others. To me, success is not just about what you achieve for yourself, but about the lives you touch, the confidence you inspire, and the doors you open for others.

My vision for VEC Queen of India is to transform it into an internationally recognised platform that goes beyond a traditional pageant and becomes a movement for women’s empowerment. I want every woman, regardless of her age, background or circumstances, to feel seen, valued and empowered to realise her potential.

If, ten years from now, a woman tells me that VEC Queen of India gave her the courage to pursue a dream she once thought impossible, I would consider that one of my greatest achievements. Because crowns may shine for a moment, but confidence, purpose and the power to inspire change last a lifetime. I want to build a platform that doesn’t just crown queens, but empowers women to discover the queen within themselves.
