Kochi: Nimmy Viegas, a native of Cherai in Kerala, has made it to the finale of Haut Monde Mrs. India Worldwide, a prestigious beauty pageant celebrating the strength, grace, and beauty of married women. Nimmy, who currently works as an Integration Advisor in a multinational oil and natural gas company in the Netherlands, is the second daughter of Sugesh Babu and Sheela Babu. The final event of Mrs. India will take place at the Hilton Al Seef Heritage Hotel in Dubai in the first week of May.
Holding a degree in Information Technology, Nimmy’s journey in the oil and gas sector has been marked by versatility and a constant pursuit of growth, especially in areas crucial for our planet’s future. Beyond her professional aspirations, her experiences of growing up in a village in India have shaped her resolve.

“I leverage my success in the corporate world to advocate for young individuals facing similar challenges, aiming to dismantle prejudices and empower them to embrace their identity confidently,” says Nimmy. This journey has led her to embrace platforms to make a broader impact, such as the Haut Monde Mrs. India worldwide platform.
