Manoshi Roychowdhury, co-chairperson of Techno India Group, said, “If I was asked to host a pageant audition even two years ago, I would have said no. But my perspectives have changed and now I understand that such competitions are more than just a comparison of beauty. Beauty is just not how beautiful one looks, it is also about compassion and confidence. Techno India Group has always been open to challenges to weave the magical values of education and co-curricular activities. We always encourage our students to follow their passion.”
