Pageantry[edit]
Pragnya won the Femina Miss India Telangana 2022 title in May and represented Telangana at the Femina Miss India 2022 pageant on 3 June 2022, finishing among the Top 5 finalists.[4] Later, in early August, she was chosen from a pool of contestants to represent India at the Miss Supranational pageant the following year. Pragnya was crowned Miss Diva Supranational 2022 on August 28, 2022, by her predecessor Ritika Khatnani, Miss Diva Supranational 2021 and Miss Supranational Asia 2022.[5]
Miss Supranational 2023[edit]
Pragnya represented India at the Miss Supranational 2023 pageant, which took place on 14 July 2023 in Poland and placed among the Top 12 finalists making India's third consecutive placement in the Top 12 since 2021.[6]
During the competition, she won the Supra-Chat sub contest among her group and advanced to the Top 10 and later to Top 5 of the contest. Her Indian classical dance in the Talent round earned her a spot in the Top 12 finalists. Pragnya was one of the Top 10 Supra Fan-vote finalists, in which the audience or general public votes for a delegate to move on to the semi-finals.[7]
With Pragnya been among the Top 12 finalists, India has now placed in the competition ten times in a row since 2013, third in the Top 12 and second to win the Miss Supranational Asia continental title.[8]
