The inspiring story of a successful businesswoman who has transformed herself into a confident and glamorous diva!
When Deepali Vij, a successful businesswoman, decided to participate in Mrs India Empress of the nation 2024 by DIVA Pageants, she embarked on a journey that would redefine her life. Balancing the demands of her career with her personal aspirations, Deepali was no stranger to challenges. Yet, stepping into the world of pageantry was a new frontier—a realm where confidence, poise, and glamour would be tested and celebrated.
At the heart of this transformative experience was Anjana Mascarenhas, a renowned mentor and grooming expert who has empowered countless women through the DIVA Pageants. Under Anjana’s guidance, Deepali’s journey became more than just a quest for a crown; it was an opportunity to rediscover herself.
Anjana Mascarenhas is no stranger to transformation. As a renowned pageant coach, she has a unique ability to bring out the best in every contestant, regardless of their background.
From the very first session with Anjana, Deepali realized that this journey was not merely about external beauty. Anjana’s holistic approach to grooming focused on building inner confidence, refining communication skills, and embracing personal style. For Deepali, this meant shedding self-doubt and embracing the spotlight with grace.
“Anjana made me see myself in a completely new light,” Deepali recalls. “Her training was not just about how to walk on a stage but how to carry myself with confidence in every aspect of life.”
Through meticulous grooming sessions, Anjana helped her discover a new side of herself. It wasn’t just about learning how to walk the runway or perfecting her posture—though those were certainly part of the experience. It was about building confidence, enhancing her personal style, and cultivating an aura of grace that resonated both on and off the stage.
Anjana’s approach was holistic. She worked on every aspect of the contestant’s persona, from public speaking skills to fashion choices, and even mindset coaching. The result? A businesswoman who could command a boardroom with the same confidence and poise that she now displayed on the stage.
“Anjana didn’t just teach me how to wear a gown or pose for the camera—she taught me how to own my space, how to project confidence, and how to believe in my worth,” the businesswoman shares. “The transformation was as much internal as it was external.” “Anjana’s training didn’t just prepare me for the pageant; it prepared me for life,” Deepali says. “I now approach every challenge with a renewed sense of self-assurance.”
Deepali’s journey did not go unnoticed. Her transformation inspired others in her circle—friends, colleagues, and even competitors—who saw in her a living testament to the power of self-belief and professional grooming. Many women who had once hesitated to step into the world of pageantry found courage in Deepali’s story, encouraged by her success and the support she received from Anjana.
“Deepali’s journey is a beacon for women who are balancing careers and personal aspirations,” says Anjana. “Her story shows that with the right guidance, anyone can unleash their inner diva.”

Deepali’s story is a shining example of what the DIVA Pageants offers: an opportunity to grow, inspire, and empower.
“Throughout the contest, the DIVA Pageants team hand-held me at every step, ensuring I felt confident and prepared. From the expert stylists and makeup professionals to the etiquette specialists and grooming experts, every in-house team member played a pivotal role. The insightful introductions by Karl Sir, combined with comprehensive guidance on mastering the ramp, made sure I was ready for every moment on stage. Their collective efforts and support were instrumental in my journey through the contest.” Deepali says.
