Nights of beauty and glitz, fashion and glamour, music and dance!

On July 12, 2014, the first pageant, iLink Professionals', was held at the Robert Ferst Center for the Arts at Georgia Tech. The evening began with all the contestants performing their opening number to a dance choreographed by Benish Gilani and Zahra Jiwani. Twenty one girls then graced the stage in evening gowns. Charenjeet (CJ) took to the stage with his amazing voice to greet the girls in their Indian attire. Ten girls advanced to the finals to perform their talent and answer questions from the panel of judges.

Three winners in the iLink Professionals’ Miss India Georgia pageant will be familiar: Richa Bhardwaj had been in the Top Five at the Miss Teen India Georgia pageant 2008, and this year was named Miss Photogenic and crowned iLink’s Miss India Georgia. Pran Sharma Gangaraju was Miss India Georgia’s Congeniality & Prettiest Eyes winner 2013 and participated in the Miss India USA pageant, then was 1st Runner-up Miss India Georgia this year. Millie Bhatia has also advanced from win to win, as she was 2nd Runner-Up for Miss India Georgia 2013, then earned a place in the Top 10 in the Miss India USA pageant 2014, and now has won Best Talent and Prettiest Smile and is 2nd Runner-Up for Miss India Georgia 2014.
