New Delhi [India], December 10: Just a few months ago, Preeti Dabir, a tech privacy professional at Meta and a mother of two, was balancing the demanding roles of career and family. When Aditi Govitrikar’s team reached out, inviting her to participate in Season 2 of Marvelous Mrs. India (MMI), Preeti wasn’t entirely convinced that pageantry was her calling. With a background steeped in engineering and technology, holding degrees from BITS Pilani and a master’s from Chicago, she had never envisioned herself in the world of fashion and glamour.
However, the opportunity came at a pivotal moment. After her second pregnancy in 2021, Preeti faced health challenges, including gestational diabetes, which led to significant weight gain and a decline in fitness. Determined to regain her vitality, she embarked on a journey of transformation in late 2022, committing to regular gym workouts and strict dietary discipline. As the months passed, Preeti not only achieved her fitness goals but also discovered the profound impact physical health has on her mental well-being.
Encouraged by her progress and supported by her family, Preeti decided to embrace the challenge and confirmed her participation in July. The journey was both demanding and transformative. As a first-timer in the world of pageantry, Preeti faced a steep learning curve. Ramp walk training, led by the legendary supermodel of India, Nayanika Chatterjee—who has mentored icons like Priyanka Chopra—proved to be her greatest challenge. Yet, through perseverance and guidance, Preeti gradually mastered the nuances of the catwalk. Additional preparations included intensive fitness routines, honing her stage presence, and embracing the spirit of competition.
When the much-anticipated event unfolded in the picturesque city of Udaipur, Preeti found herself among a group of inspiring participants. Despite battling jet lag, she quickly bonded with her fellow contestants and poured her heart into last-minute rehearsals. The effort paid off: Preeti emerged as a Top 10 finalist and took home the coveted Marvelous Catwalk crown, a testament to her resilience and dedication.
Looking ahead, Preeti is eager to return to her dual roles at work and at home while continuing her wellness journey. However, her ambitions extend beyond personal achievements. She envisions establishing an NGO in India focused on advancing education for girls, a cause close to her heart. Preeti firmly believes that education is the most powerful tool to break the cycle of poverty and create opportunities for young girls to thrive. Her goal is to empower future generations while fostering sustainable models for long-term community impact in India.
Preeti remains deeply grateful to Aditi Govitrikar and her team for not only offering her this transformative opportunity but also for guiding her throughout the journey. She hopes her story will continue to inspire other mothers facing similar health challenges, encouraging them to take bold steps toward self-improvement and personal growth.
From tech privacy to pageantry, Preeti Dabir’s story is one of courage, transformation, and purpose—a reminder that life’s most rewarding journeys often begin with a leap of faith.
