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.[8] 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.[9][10] 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.[11][12]

The Glamanand Group acquired the rights to send India's delegates to the Miss International in the year 2015.[13] The first edition of this pageant was held on 4 November 2015 at Courtyard Marriott Hotel, New Delhi.[14] Supriya Aiman became the first delegate to win the title of Glamanand Miss International India.[15] From 2015 onwards, Glamanand Supermodel India is now responsible for the selection of future Miss International India.[16][17]
