New Delhi, 07th July: Vesna Event Crafters Pvt Ltd. has announced the third season of VEC Queen of India (Ms. & Mrs.), a national pageant built on inclusivity, confidence, and self-belief. Dressed this year in a striking Black & Gold theme and carrying the tagline “Pageant with Purpose,” the season opens with on-ground auditions across four cities in July.
Auditions will be held in New Delhi (18th July, Yantra Hall, Hotel The Park, CP), Jalandhar (19th July, Ramada Encore), Kochi (25th July, Kochi Marriott Hotel), and Bengaluru (26th July, WelcomHotel by ITC, Richmond Road). The cities were chosen for their strong participation and the many past winners who have emerged from these regions. Aspirants unable to attend in person can also audition online, with wild-card registrations open until September. At each audition, candidates take part in a short introduction round, sharing their profession, education, and interests.
The pageant is open to all Indian women aged 18 and above, with no restrictions on height, weight, skin tone, or background. Entrants compete in one of two categories, “Ms” for single and divorced women, and “Mrs” for married, separated and widowed and divorced women, allowing divorced participants the flexibility to choose the category they wish to compete . Registration is mandatory for both online and on-ground auditions and can be completed at www.vecqueenofindia.com/
VEC Queen of India is founded and directed by Muskan Gairola, Founder & CEO of Vesna Event Crafters Pvt. Ltd. and Director of Vesna Tours. She is joined by mentor and advisor Kirti Mishra Narang, founder of Katalytis and winner of Mrs. India Worldwide 2018, and by creative head Sunayana Raina. Together they form the core audition panel, alongside Queens from previous seasons.
“Through VEC Queen of India, my vision is to create opportunities for women to grow in confidence, embrace their individuality, and inspire others through their journey,” said Muskan Gairola, Founder & CEO, Vesna Event Crafters Pvt. Ltd. and Director of Vesna Tours.
Shortlisted contestants, a minimum of 25 from each category, will advance to virtual grooming sessions with mentors from September, leading up to the Grand Finale in Delhi NCR between 15 October and 15 November. Winners will take home a crown and sash, a cash prize, gift hampers, brand collaborations, a magazine feature, a podcast appearance, and national media visibility.
Past editions have welcomed Bollywood names including Neelam Kothari and Chitrangada Singh, with television personality Maddy Verma returning as host. Beyond the glamour, the organisers position the pageant as a movement rooted in inclusivity, one that removes traditional beauty barriers, champions self-worth, and reminds every woman that it is never too late to pursue her dreams and shine.
