History

1960–1988: Eve's Weekly

India's participation in the Miss International pageant began in 1960 when Eve's Weekly magazine selected Iona Pinto as the country's first delegate. Pinto was crowned at the Eve's Weekly Miss India contest and went on to place as 1st runner-up at the inaugural Miss International pageant held in Long Beach, California. Eve's Weekly continued to send India's representatives to Miss International until 1988. The magazine ceased publication in 1989, resulting in no Indian representation in 1989 and 1990.

1991–2014: The Times Group

From 1991, Femina Miss India, organized by The Times Group, held the franchise for Miss International. During this period, India achieved several high placements, including two first runners-up and one second runner-up. Shonali Nagrani placed as 1st runner-up in 2003, marking the country's highest placement under this organization. The last representative from Femina Miss India was Jhataleka Malhotra in 2014. The Times Group lost the franchise in 2015.

2015, 2017–2022: Glamanand Group

In 2015, the Miss International India franchise was acquired by the Glamanand Group, led by Nikhil Anand. The first edition of the Glamanand Miss International India pageant was held in November 2015, with Supriya Aiman crowned as the winner. Glamanand sent representatives in 2015 and from 2017 to 2022.

2016: Perk Events Group

In 2016, the franchise was briefly held by Perk Events Group, which selected Rewati Chetri from Assam as Miss International India.

2023–2024: Divine Group
