THIS IS MY STORY
My journey into the world of fashion began when I was just 13, and by 15, I was pursuing it professionally. I was incredibly fortunate to have the right mentors guiding me early in my career, which laid the foundation for what was to come. 2010 marked a turning point in my life, when I had the honor of being crowned Miss India South (regional), Miss India Earth (national), and finally, the prestigious Miss Earth in Vietnam- a first for India. The moment I won Miss Earth, I was overwhelmed with pride and joy, as I became the first and only woman from India to hold this internationally renowned title.
​
After my victory, I was offered numerous exciting opportunities in both Bollywood and the advertising industry. I became a regular feature in top fashion magazines and worked on campaigns for some of the world's most renowned brands, expanding my horizons beyond the pageant world.
​
As Miss Earth, I fully embrace the responsibility that comes with the title. My global environmental advocacy includes championing projects like the International Children's Heart Foundation, advocating for sustainable living through the I Am Plastic-Free campaign, and promoting environmental awareness via the I Love My Planet Earth initiative. One of my most meaningful contributions has been my role in restoring Bangalore’s lakes, which have diminished from over 270 to just about 80 due to rapid industrial development. My efforts focus on bringing attention to this critical issue and supporting initiatives aimed at preserving these vital water bodies.
​
In recognition of my contributions to both the environment and social good, I was humbled to receive the First Ladies Award from the President of India, Ram Nath Kovind, in January 2018- an honor that celebrates trailblazing women across the country.
​
I’ve also ventured into the beauty and wellness industry by launching We Morph, a center for aesthetics, slimming, and wellness located in Basweshwar Nagar, Bangalore. At We Morph, we believe that transformation is key to growth, and with the right motivation, we can all morph into the best versions of ourselves.

In addition to my work in the beauty industry, I founded CARE FOR ME, an NGO dedicated to supporting underprivileged communities and protecting fragile ecosystems. Through CARE FOR ME, we strive to create a positive impact both on the environment and the people who need it most.
