India gained its first Big Four name whilst Reita Faria from India bagged the Miss World 1966 name becoming the first Asian to win. In 1994, Sushmita Sen received Miss Universe 1994, turning into the country's first ever Miss Universe titleholder. Later that year, Aishwarya Rai delivered to the triumphing streak, choosing up the Miss World 1994 identify, making India the last country to ever win at each Miss Universe and Miss World within the equal year within the 20th century.

Diana Hayden then received the Miss World title in 1997. Actor and version Yukta Mookhey become later crowned Miss World 1999. Six years after Sushmita Sen and Aishwarya Rai's double wins, Lara Dutta and Priyanka Chopra replicated the feat in 2000, marking the maximum current time (as of 2021) that any united states of America has gained lower back-to-back at Miss World and, up to now, the only time that any united states gained Miss Universe and Miss World inside the identical year inside the 21st century. India's appearances on the Miss Universe semifinals from 1992 to 2002 made it the first united states within the Eastern Hemisphere to place annually on the pageant for at least 10 consecutive years.

In 2010, Nicole Faria from Bangalore became the primary Indian female to win the Miss Earth competition. Manushi Chhillar received the Miss World 2017 identify, becoming the most current Big 4 pageant titleholder from India as of 2021.
