Business Remedies | Shruti Kothari | June 01,2025 | The Miss World 2025 results were announced on May 31, and while the crown went to Thailand’s Suchata Chuangsri, India found its pride in Nandini Gupta—Kota’s very own—who represented the country with elegance, intellect, and confidence.
A native of Kota, Nandini’s journey to the global stage marks a powerful shift in how the city is being perceived. Known widely for its coaching institutes and academic grind, Kota is now stepping into the limelight for culture, fashion, and representation. Her presence in the Miss World Top 20 has opened a new chapter for the city’s evolving identity.
The news has particularly inspired the local fashion community. Kota-based designer Aayushi Harchandani, founder of Dawn and Dusk, shared how Nandini’s achievement resonates beyond pageantry.
“It feels incredible to see someone from our town on such a global platform—and doing it all on her own merit. Nandini’s style reflects a confident and modern Indian woman who’s deeply rooted in her culture. Her fashion choices blend tradition with bold modernity. I’ve seen her wear everything from rich emerald greens to intricate embroidered gowns—she carries them all with purpose and pride. For many of us in design, seeing someone like her out there is both motivating and a reminder that Indian fashion still deserves more global attention.”
Nandini’s story is one of ambition, transformation, and national pride—and it’s also a proud reminder that Kota has more to offer than just academic excellence. It now shines in style and spirit, with Nandini Gupta leading the way.
