List of Indian representatives at international male beauty pageants
India selects its delegates for international male beauty pageants through several national competitions held throughout the year. Winners and runners-up from these events are sent to represent the nation at various prestigious international competitions.
Currently, three primary national pageants stand out: Times Mister India, Rubaru Mister India, and Mister Supranational India. Each selects contestants through their own processes, culminating in the coronation of winners and runners-up.
These national titles serve as gateways to various international platforms. Winners and runners-up may compete in renowned pageants like Mister World, Mister Supranational, Mister International, Mister Global, Manhunt International, and Man of the World, alongside several other prominent regional events.
