Nikhil Anand founded the Glamanand Group after participating in the Mr. North India 2013 competition.[6] In 2014, he launched Glamanand Entertainment Pvt Ltd, and in 2015, the company acquired the national franchise rights for Miss Earth and Miss International.[7]

The first "Glamanand Super Model India" pageant took place on 4 November 2015 at the Courtyard Marriott Hotel in New Delhi. This event selected India's representatives for Miss Earth, Miss International, and Miss Tourism World.[8] Supriya Aiman was the first titleholder of Glamanand Miss International India. The pageant continued annually until 2022.[9][10]

In 2020, the Glamanand Group obtained the license for Miss Grand International. To select India's representative, the organization introduced Miss Grand India in 2023. Arshina Sumbul, the first Miss Grand India, made it to the Top 20 at Miss Grand International 2023, held in Vietnam.[11][12] Sophiya Singh, originally chosen as Miss Tourism World India at the Miss Grand India 2023 event, later became Miss Asia Pacific International India. In 2024, she represented India at Miss Asia Pacific International in the Philippines, where she reached the Top 20 and won the Continental Queen of Asia title.[13]

In 2024, Glamanand acquired the franchise rights for four more international pageants: Miss Asia Pacific International, Miss Charm, Miss Cosmo International, and Miss Universe. Following this, the group launched Miss Universe India. State franchises were introduced to select participants for the national finals, and a national audition awarded wildcard entries. NRI (Non-Resident Indians) finalists were also included.[14][15]

The first Miss Universe India competition was held on 22 September 2024, with Rhea Singha winning the title. She represented India at Miss Universe 2024 in Mexico and reached the Top 30.[16]

The Glamanand Group first sent representatives to international pageants in 2015, with delegates competing in Miss International, Miss Earth, and Miss Tourism World. However, none of them advanced to the semifinals.[17]

In 2018, the group acquired Miss Teen International. Ritika Khatnani, representing the group, finished as the first runner-up at the first Miss Teen International held in Gurgaon.[18][19]

In 2019, Glamanand had its first international victory when Aayushi Dholakia won Miss Teen International 2019.[20][21]

In 2023, Arshina Sumbul, Miss Grand India 2023, represented India at Miss Grand International in Vietnam and placed in the Top 20.[22][23]

On October 25, 2024, in Thailand, Rachel Gupta became the first Indian to win Miss Grand International title. This was the group's first international win outside of its own pageant. Gupta was the fourth delegate the group sent to this competition.[24][25]

On November 9, 2024, Trishna Ray Ray won Miss Teen Universe in South Africa, becoming the first Indian to claim this title. This marked the group's second international win.[26]

Competition irregularities

[edit]

In November 2024, following India's win at the Miss Grand International 2024 pageant, Nikhil Anand, President of Glamanand Entertainment, publicly criticized Miss Grand International (MGI) on social media after their partnership ended.[27] Anand accused MGI of disrespect, prioritizing financial gains, and attempting to draw comparisons with Miss Universe. He also highlighted that several national directors had left the organization due to its conduct. In response, MGI cited contractual violations and delayed payments, announcing that it would not renew its franchise agreement with Glamanand Entertainment.[28][29]
