The Miss India Kenya™ beauty pageant showcases the ‘Indian Woman in Africa’. It was conceived to reflect the rich tapestry of the culture and values of the Indian subcontinent interwoven with traditions of her homeland, Kenya.

A terrific theme for sure from inception till date has seen a sellout crowd at the grand finales. Just how popular the event has become is evident when an imitation event did not even come close to stealing its thunder in 2002.

Thus with time the “Miss India Kenya™” has become a much looked forward-event on the Kenyan social calendar, attracting a participation and audience from around the country.

‘East FM’ a popular Asian radio station and ‘Contact Network’ conceived the idea to portray the vibrant ‘Kenyan Asian Woman’.

Her skills are varied, from flaunting African, Asian and Western attire; to her more poignant poetry recital, singing, acting and dancing skills.


The judges’ panel comprising of prominent citizens pick out the winners.

The list of entries grows every year, each participant having either parent of Indian Origin. Then, its lots of training, and she gets the opportunity to learn new skills like Personal Grooming, Cat-walking, Presentation, Etiquette and Stage Confidence- An entire Personality Build-up!

Then through the year of their reign, the winners get to be active ambassadors of the community in various spheres of the Kenyan life. From Charity work to Inaugurations, their faces also adorn glossy covers, and very soon they become household names in the country.

And every year the spectators throng the Preliminaries and the Finals, to catch a glimpse of the Indian-Kenyan Beauty queen.

After all, she is one of our very own!
