Gurugram (Haryana), April 20: In a stunning turn of events that captured the hearts and imaginations of millions, Lipika Sharma ascended to national fame as she was crowned Vogue Star Miss India 2024, for proudly representing her home state, Haryana.

Hers is a story not of fairytales, but of sheer determination and a belief in one’s own potential. Lipika’s victory at the prestigious event in Jaipur resonates as a celebration of determination and empowerment that speaks to people across India and beyond borders, showcasing the universal appeal and inspirational power of her journey.

A Dream Ignited in Gurugram

Lipika’s ascent to the crown is a tale of relentless ambition and profound resilience. From humble beginnings in Gurugram to the dazzling lights of the national stage, her path was paved with challenges that she turned into stepping stones. From a young age, Lipika was fascinated by the colourful mosaic of Indian culture and the stories of its people. An entrepreneur, a traveller, a fashion enthusiast and a visionary, Lipika has woven her diverse experiences into a rich tapestry of achievements.

Academic Foundations and Career

The journey began in the corridors of Delhi University, where she pursued an Honours degree in Multimedia and Mass Communication, sparking her first connections to the media world through directing documentaries, featuring in short films and working with GoodTimes, India’s leading travel and lifestyle TV channel. It wasn’t long before the constraints of the industry in Delhi nudged her towards the corporate world of marketing, where she excelled in leadership roles in multinational companies, but her heart yearned for more—the thrill of adventure, the stories untold.

Warrior at Heart

Her spirit of adventure led her to G Adventures, a global leader in travel, where as Chief Experience Officer, she led journeys not just across geographies but within hearts, proving to be a remarkable brand ambassador for India. Her role involved curating extraordinary travel experiences, a testament to her ability to lead and inspire. Facing the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic with bravery and heroism, she safeguarded the well-being of over a dozen international travellers, ensuring their safe passage back to their home countries amidst global uncertainty.

When the pandemic shuttered globetrotting, Lipika, with her typical resolve, saw a silver lining. With the travel industry at a standstill, she launched her ventures, Brahma Wellness and Lish Life. Brahma Wellness is dedicated to making health and wellness accessible, while Lish Life aims to bring global recognition to Indian arts and artisans, celebrating the country’s rich cultural heritage. Carving her path successfully in these male dominated industries, she became a role model for the women of the country.

The Dream of the Crown

Yet, amidst these successes, a childhood dream lingered—pageantry. Driven by a long-held dream to make a mark on the beauty and fashion industry, Lipika embarked on her journey to the Vogue Star Miss India 2024 title. Her decision to step onto the pageant stage was fuelled by a lifelong dream to inspire and empower women. Her preparation was intense and thorough, imbued with the same passion and dedication she applies to every endeavour. 

She dedicated a year to training, mastering everything from modelling techniques, catwalk to makeup and styling. Her journey led her to the grand stage in Jaipur at the Vogue Star Fashion Week. At the event, her presence was magnetic, opening the event with a powerful act, impeccably choreographed by the esteemed Alison Woodham that not only captivated the audience but also set the tone for what was to come.

Taking a confident stride wearing a statement designer ensemble, Lipika was more than a contestant; she was a vision of empowerment. Her powerful performance not only captivated the audience but also set the tone for what was to come.

The Crowning Moment

The crowning night was a blur of applause, flashes of camera, and a surge of emotions. As the crown was placed on her head, it wasn’t just a win for Lipika but for every girl watching from afar, dreaming their own dreams. Lipika had transformed from a participant to an icon for an entire nation.

Lipika’s achievement at Vogue Star Miss India 2024 transcends her regional representation, marking her role as an ambassador for Indian women on both a national and international stage. Her story encourages every Indian woman to pursue her dreams with boldness and self-belief.

The Victory and Its Significance

Reflecting on her victory, Lipika stated, “This title is more than a personal achievement; it’s an opportunity to voice the dreams of countless women who aspire to redefine their roles in society. It’s about showing that with courage and persistence, barriers are just milestones waiting to be surpassed.”

Future Aspirations

Lipika’s future plans are as expansive as her dreams. She is enthusiastic about entering the realms of acting and media, aiming to further her impact and connect with a wider audience through various forms of storytelling. Looking ahead, Lipika remains committed to leveraging her title for greater good. Collaborating with NGOs, she is determined to create opportunities for women and children, and bring attention to lesser-known Indian destinations through Lish Travel.

Lipika Sharma stands as a beacon of inspiration, embodying the power of dreaming big and living even larger.

A Role Model and a Visionary

Lipika Sharma embodies the essence of modern Indian womanhood — bold, empowered, and endlessly capable. Her journey from the streets of Gurugram to the national spotlight is not just a personal success story but a narrative of inspiration and empowerment for every woman who dares to dream big.

As she continues to break barriers and redefine norms, Lipika Sharma remains a pivotal figure in shaping the discourse around women’s roles in society, proving that with resilience and passion, every dream is within reach.
