Tanzir—an exceptional entrepreneur, designer, and philanthropist whose roots lie in Karnataka and whose influence spans internationally. This October, she claimed prestigious titles: Mrs India 2025 at the national pageant held in Jaipur .

At the national finale of the Mrs India 2025 pageant, hosted by Glamanand Group at Jaipur’s iconic Zee Studios, Tanzir captivated the audience with her elegance, poise, and sharp intellect. Her ramp walk exuded confidence and grace, and during the question-and-answer session, her responses resonated powerfully with the audience, earning thunderous applause. The 12-day event featured rounds including talent showcases, traditional wear, and meaningful networking with fellow changemakers.

Just days later, in Bangalore, Tanzir received the honour of being crowned Mrs India Role Model 2025 under the leadership of Nandini Nagraj and the Queen Maker initiative. 

The proceedings included a Saree Walk that paid homage to India’s cultural roots, followed by a Gown Round showcasing global elegance—a true representation of women who seamlessly blend tradition with progress. The energy, music and audience cheers created an atmosphere of celebration and pride. Importantly, finalists were selected not only based on style, but on their meaningful contributions to community and purpose-driven lives. Beyond the crowns, Tanzir’s professional impact speaks volumes. As founder of Access2Canada, she has empowered countless SMEs to expand globally; her image-consulting practice motivates women to express self-confidence and liquid-grace in their everyday lives. Her recent honorary doctorate (Honoris Causa) recognizes her entrepreneurship and mentorship. Toronto may be her current chapter, but Karnataka remains her foundation—she says: “Kannada and Canada are my closest chapters, and they will continue to grow and thrive.”

Tanzir’s dual wins mark just the beginning of her journey. Her story is an affirmation that empowerment isn’t something women wait for—it’s something they already possess. Please join me in congratulating her for setting a new benchmark for what it means to lead with authenticity, purpose and style.
