Adding an exciting dimension to this year's pageant is the groundbreaking integration with Shark Tank India, a platform renowned for fostering entrepreneurship and innovation. For the first time ever, Miss World’s top four finalists will have the opportunity to pitch their Beauty with a Purpose Project on stage to our sharks - Emcure Pharmaceuticals Ltd executive director Namita Thapar, People Group founder & Shaadi.com CEO Anupam Mittal, and OYO Rooms founder & CEO Ritesh Agarwal. The sharks believe in the cause of 'Beauty with A Purpose', will bring their expertise and resources to support the endeavour that wins. This one-of-a-kind integration will allow the contestants to align beauty not only with aesthetics but also with meaningful impact and much-needed societal change.
Miss World Organization chairman and CEO Julia Morley said, "The collaboration with Shark Tank India underscores our commitment to driving positive change. We are thrilled to witness the transformative power of beauty aligned with purpose."
