A Landmark Launch in Bengaluru

The official announcement was made at a press conference hosted at JW Marriott Bengaluru, the Venue Partner for the occasion, in the distinguished presence of three accomplished women whose journeys reflect the opportunities and achievements associated with the Femina Miss India platform.

The launch brought together Ms Sushruthi Krishna, Femina Miss India 2016 First Runner-Up and entrepreneur; Ms Khushi Ramesh Kalakeri, Femina Miss India Karnataka 2026 and digital content creator and Ms Swathi Muppala, Femina Miss India Karnataka 2017 and actor, who shared their perspectives on the evolving role of pageantry in shaping careers, inspiring ambition and creating opportunities for women.

Speaking about the significance of passing the baton to Karnataka’s next representative, Ms Khushi Ramesh Kalakeri, Femina Miss India Karnataka 2026, said, “When I look back at my Femina Miss India journey, what stays with me isn’t just the moment I received the crown, but the person I became along the way. Representing Karnataka gave me a deeper appreciation for where I come from and the responsibility that comes with carrying my state’s name. To every girl considering applying, I would say, don’t wait until you feel completely ready. Sometimes, the most rewarding journeys begin with one brave decision. I am excited to see who takes this legacy forward and makes it her own.”

Reflecting on her own experience and the possibilities that lie beyond the pageant, Ms Sushruthi Krishna, Femina Miss India 2016 First Runner-Up and entrepreneur, shared, “Ten years ago, I stepped onto the Femina Miss India stage with dreams, determination and many unanswered questions about my future. What I discovered was that the experience could open doors far beyond pageantry. It taught me to communicate with conviction, trust my instincts and carry myself with purpose, lessons that have stayed with me as an entrepreneur. I hope the young women entering Femina Miss India Karnataka 2027 see this not simply as a competition, but as an investment in themselves. The crown may be one destination, but the confidence and courage you gain can take you places you never imagined.”

Welcoming the opportunity for aspiring women across Karnataka, Ms Swathi Muppala, Femina Miss India Karnataka 2017 and actor, said, “Being Femina Miss India Karnataka 2017 will always hold a special place in my heart because it was one of those experiences that helped me believe in possibilities I hadn’t fully explored. Coming from the world of pageantry into acting, I have seen how much that early exposure can shape your confidence and the choices you make. What makes this launch particularly meaningful is that young women across Karnataka now have a dedicated platform closer to home to begin their own journeys. I hope we discover girls with remarkable stories, unique perspectives and the determination to turn their ambitions into reality.”
