Redefining Beauty, Redefining Power | Mohini Sharma | TEDxIIMSambalpur
In this transformative talk, Mohini Sharma challenges the conventional narratives around beauty, leadership, and womanhood. From being crowned Mrs. India World in 2016 to becoming the driving force behind Mrs. India Inc, she has reimagined pageantry as a platform for empowerment, not perfection. Mohini shares how true beauty lies in confidence, courage, and purpose—and how married women, often boxed into societal roles, can break barriers and lead fearlessly. Through her initiatives like Indian Femme and the Udaan Trust, she continues to inspire women to embrace their full potential and step into leadership, on their own terms. Her journey is a celebration of resilience, ambition, and the belief that there are no limits to what a woman can achieve—on stage or off it. Mohini Sharma empowers women to redefine their aspirations She is an Indian educationist and entrepreneur, best known for her significant contributions to the pageantry industry. She was crowned Mrs. India World in 2016 and subsequently represented India at the Mrs. World 2016 pageant.

In addition to her role in pageantry, Mohini Sharma is the founder of Indian Femme and serves as a trustee for the Udaan Trust. She is active on social media, sharing insights into her work and initiatives.
