The event which was conducted for the first time saw 25 girls and boys who were shortlisted. Raghu was crowned as Mr India while Ankita Gowda bagged the coveted Miss India title.  The participants had come from various parts of the city for the programme. There were three rounds in the finale where the models wore garments designed by renowned fashion designers and walked on the ramp. Along with this, there were titles for Mr and Miss Karnataka. 

Programme organiser Williams said, “To win a beauty pageant is great prestige as well as responsibility as the contestants not only earn fame and popularity but also become a public personality. Many of the winners of the titles in the past have had a successful career in TV and movies.” 

All the participants are  current degree students from various courses. Mr India Raghu said, “It was a good platform to showcase our talent. We hope more events would be conducted in the following years which would create an opportunity for upcoming models.”
