Achievements/ Anything you are proud of yourself:

I am incredibly proud of my journey from a small rural village in Karnataka to becoming a Branch Manager in a corporate firm in Bengaluru.

Since joining my job, I have received 5 to 10 awards every year for top performance and recognition as a Women Influencer.

What is Women Empowerment according to you?

Women’s empowerment is a phrase often used, but to me, it is a lived reality and a future mission. Empowerment, in its truest sense, is the process of accepting women’s viewpoints and making a conscious, concerted effort to seek them out in spaces where they have historically been silenced. It is about raising the status of women through the pillars of education, awareness, and literacy. It is about ensuring equal status in society, improving livelihoods, and providing the technical training necessary to compete in a globalized world.

Message for the society:

My message is simple: Your beginnings do not define your destination. Whether you come from a small village or a big city, your persistence is your greatest asset. Never stop investing in your education and personal growth.

How will you give back to society after becoming a Queen?

I want to bridge the gap between rural potential and urban opportunity. I intend to use this platform to mentor young women from rural backgrounds, helping them develop the professional skills and confidence needed to navigate the corporate world, just as I did.

Why have you participated in Mrs India International Queen?

I am here at Mrs India International Queen to redefine what it means to be a multitasking woman. I want to show that a woman can be a dedicated professional, a student, a fitness enthusiast, and a family woman—all while pursuing her dreams on an international stage. This pageant is my way of proving that a crown isn’t just an ornament; it’s a responsibility to inspire others.
