India's representatives to the Miss International beauty pageant was initially selected by the Eve's Weekly Miss India contest, since its inception in 1960, until the year 1988.[8] Iona Pinto represented India in the inaugural Miss International 1960 pageant, where she was crowned as the first runner-up at a score of half a point (0.5) margin, thereby conceding victory to Stella Márquez of Colombia.[9][10]
Since the year 1991, Femina Miss India sent Indian delegates to compete at Miss International, and was successful in producing two first runner-ups and one second runner-up titles.[11] The last highest placement of Femina Miss India's representative at Miss International was achieved by Shonali Nagrani, who was crowned as the first runner-up in Miss International 2003.[12][13] The Times Group dropped the franchise of Miss International in 2015. The last representative to Miss International by the Miss India Organization was Jhataleka Malhotra in 2014.[14][15]
The Glamanand Group acquired the rights to send India's delegates to the Miss International in the year 2015.[16] The first edition of this pageant was held on 4 November 2015 at Courtyard Marriott Hotel, New Delhi.[17] Supriya Aiman became the first delegate to win the title of Glamanand Miss International India.[18] From 2015 onwards, Glamanand Supermodel India is now responsible for the selection of future Miss International India.[19][20]
