OMC Competitions (2013–2020)
I proudly represented India in various OMC (Organisation Mondiale Coiffure) championships including the Asia Cup in Taiwan (2013) and Malaysia (2015), and Hairworld in Germany (2014), South Korea (2016), France (2017 and 2018), as well as the OMC Online Championship in 2020. I earned a Prestige Diploma, won a Bronze Medal, and trained intensively with international mentors to perfect my creative, evening, and technical hairstyles.
AIHBA India Awards
(As Participant & Trainer)
I actively competed in the AIHBA India Awards and later began training students who went on to win top ranks in categories like open hairstyling, bridal, creative, and total fantasy looks. I prepared their practice schedules, shared feedback daily, and celebrated each milestone they achieved on the competition floor.
IndiaSkills & WorldSkills (National Expert & Trainer)
In 2014, I proposed and launched the Youth Talent Category to identify young talent for WorldSkills. I trained Pradeep Ved, who later brought home a Medallion for Excellence at WorldSkills 2015 in Brazil. I also mentored several finalists in IndiaSkills 2016, from regional selections to the national stage, carefully planning each module and practice timeline.

Judging Competitions
I’ve had the honor of judging for AIHBA, OMC, VTCT (UK), and IndiaSkills. I served as both subjective and objective jury, ensuring that participants were fairly evaluated. My goal as a judge has always been to uphold integrity, encourage talent, and maintain high standards aligned with international competition guidelines.
North America Hairstyling Awards (NAHA)
For NAHA, I created three competition looks inspired by nature—grapevine, rose, and lotus—and used peacock-inspired color palettes. I designed each hairstyle using pre-colored extensions and detailed layering, and later shared the techniques on Instagram to teach my students about styling for editorial shoots.
Student Training & Achievements
Training others has been my most fulfilling work. I’ve mentored more than 30 students who’ve won medals at AIHBA India Awards, OMC, and IndiaSkills. From beginners to national champions, I guided them with structured routines, one-on-one sessions, visual feedback, and moral support every step of the way.

I was honored to receive this prestigious award in 2019 at OMC Hairworld in Paris, recognizing my contribution to the international beauty community. Nominated by AIHBA, I was acknowledged for creating credible platforms such as the AIHBA India Awards and the Jury Seminar, as well as for my structural and creative contributions to the industry.

The event featured vibrant cultural performances, fashion shows, and recognition from influential figures in the beauty and political communities. I also had the privilege of anchoring the program and collaborating closely with the leadership team at AIHBA to ensure its success.
