From college debates to designer runways, Ayushree Malik's journey is pure inspiration. She's fierce, fabulous, and ready to take India to Miss Supranational 2025

Representing the spirit of modern Indian women with intellect, resilience, and elegance, LIVA Miss Diva Supranational 2024 Ayushree Malik is set to shine on the global stage at Miss Supranational 2025, scheduled for June 27 in Poland, with 70 countries participating. Her participation at Miss Supranational 2025 includes several key sub-contests such as Supra Chat, Supra Model of the Year, Miss Influencer, and National Costume.

Time and again, Malik has proven that she's not only a force on the ramp, but also a strong voice for meaningful change. She has also demonstrated academic excellence, having scored an impressive 96% in her 12th board exams. Malik says, “Scoring good marks and being a good student come from my upbringing because I've had a single mother who took up a job in the Delhi police after my father passed away. I've seen her doing the night shift so that she could afford to send me to school.”

She continues, “I was fuelled to study well because I wanted to take my career to another level. I've seen my mother doing a lot for the country, for the community, and for women, especially in Delhi. So, I wanted to carry on those parts and, at the same time, align with my own passion. I feel truly confident when I'm on stage, when I face the camera.”

Currently pursuing psychology at Delhi University, Malik is a true all-rounder - she is also an interzonal-level basketball player and a zonal-level debate champion. Her passion for fashion has taken her to prestigious events, where she has walked the ramp for celebrated designers like Rajdeep Ranawat, Samant Chauhan, and Archana Kochhar. She says, “I'm blessed that I got the opportunity to work with so many renowned designers. Walking the ramp in their outfits gave me those connections and the confidence to reach here. Having them on my CV opens a lot of opportunities for me.”
