New Delhi, [India] 12th, January 2026: Dipali Mathur Dayal, winner of UMB Pageants Mrs India Elite 2025, received a heartfelt homecoming as she returned after her national win, a moment that celebrated not just a crown, but a life built on ambition, reinvention, and purpose.
Organised by UMB Pageants, one of India’s most progressive and established platforms celebrating womanhood, the win reflects a larger shift in modern pageantry where lived experience, credibility, and conviction stand shoulder to shoulder with grace. Dipali’s journey stood out as one that challenges convention and expands the definition of beauty for the next generation.
A former private banker with over twenty years long career, Dipali is also an entrepreneur, mentor, and a BW 40 Under 40 awardee. Today, she serves as the CBO of Kestone Utsav, leading one of India’s evolving experiential and live events businesses. Known in professional circles as a thought leader and a clutter breaker, Dipali has consistently taken on new challenges — often when the world expects women to slow down.
A mother to a teenager, Dipali represents a powerful, contemporary narrative: one where ambition does not dim with age, fitness is a way of life, and dreams are truly age agnostic. Her journey resonates deeply with women who believe that growth, visibility, and self-expression are lifelong possibilities.
Speaking at her homecoming, Dipali said, “This win is deeply personal. Mrs India is not about perfection or fitting into a mould. It is about having the courage to show up as you are, at every stage of life, and giving yourself the permission to dream again. I hope my journey reminds women that it is never too late to begin, restart, or rise.”
Beyond the crown, Dipali is widely respected for her work in financial awareness and mentoring women towards informed decision-making. She engages actively with schools, youth platforms, and community forums, speaking on ambition, resilience, self-belief, and balanced leadership. Fitness, authenticity, and intentional living form the cornerstone of her public voice.
The homecoming celebration brought together family, friends, industry peers, and well-wishers — honouring a journey that blends aspiration with authenticity, strength with grace.
Mrs India 2025, Dipali Mathur Dayal will proudly represent India at the upcoming Mrs Universe pageant in South Africa, bringing global attention to India’s values of women empowerment, leadership, and purposeful ambition.
