Apeksha Porwal from Mumbai came face to face with that moment, when she was crowned the Teen Diva India International 2009.

She will now represent India at the Miss Teen International in Chicago, USA and compete for the title with contestants from around the globe.

Speaking about this platform, Rajeev Banerjee, vice president – IPR, Alternate Brand Solutions India Ltd, said, “The IPR team at 360 degrees has always endeavoured to create properties with meaningful content relevant to the time and space of today.

Teen Diva has been our biggest and most successful intellectual property. Apeksha, our Scooty Teen Diva winner, will be offered extensive grooming to ensure that she fares well at the international competition.

In preparation for the international pageant, Apeksha will now be trained in ramp walking by fashion industry veterans including Lubna Adams, who is the show director and CEO of Celebutante; and Ritika Ramtri Kumar, the beauty pageant coach and soft skills trainer, who will impart diction and carriage skills.
