A graduate in BA-Economics, Shemonyl is an internationally certified pet groomer with three years of professional experience and a national bronze medal in grooming. Her love for discipline and fitness shines through as a black belt Taekwondo instructor at Phoenix Martial Arts Academy, Mumbai, with five years of training and a national silver medal to her name.

Her journey in pageantry began in 2017 during her school years, eventually leading her to represent India on an international stage in Dubai in 2024. Today, she returns to the pageant world with deeper purpose and unshakable pride, ready to represent her country with grace, grit, and greatness.

Multilingual and multi-talented, Shemonyl is fluent in Hindi, Korean, Japanese, and English. She also finds joy in swimming, dancing, baking, tarot reading, and bike riding – showing that true queens never stop evolving.

Inspired by her mother, a self-made entrepreneur in the beauty industry, and backed by a loving family, Shemonyl is a living example of resilience. Through her journey, she aims to inspire others to break boundaries and believe in themselves – because even the word ‘impossible’ says,

‘I’m possible.’
