At 23, Nagpur-based makeup artist Sayali Ganvir is already moving between pageant backstages, bridal suites and editorial sets with a precision and instinct that belies her age. From her work with Femina Miss India and Perfect Miss of India to her fluency in the reel-driven language of modern beauty, Ganvir isn’t just applying makeup — she’s building a signature.
From the dust of Enkul to the bright lights of Mumbai, Sudhakar Baburao Kharmate never had an academy, a coach on retainer, or a clipboard tracking his progress — just a tied ball, a tree, and four unyielding hours a day. Now, with the MPCL behind him and the IPL ahead, he speaks of selection not as a hope but as a certainty already written. This is the story of a milkman’s son who refused to stay out.
Nominated for the IBC Excellence Awards 2026 There is a particular kind of fame that never needs a stadium. It is built instead on dust and dusk light, on the collective gasp of a crowd pressed against a boundary rope, on a name passed from one cricket season to the next until it becomes something …
There is a particular kind of stillness that falls over a maidan just before Vikas Sartape walks out to bat — the sense that something extraordinary is about to happen. Since 1996, from a twenty-ball century at Rajewadi to an unbeaten 115 studded with eighteen sixes at Walchandnagar, the Mhaswad-born hitter has turned grassroots tennis-ball cricket into his own private theatre.
At 47, Mamta Sanjay Ulvekar isn’t stepping into the spotlight to prove she can keep up — she’s stepping into it to show there’s no age at which a woman should stop becoming. From a disciplined career in IT to voice work, acting, and now the Mrs. India stage at IBC Belleza Luxe Diva 2026, her journey is a quiet rebellion against the idea that dreams come with an expiry date. Nominated for the IBC Excellence Awards 2026, she proves that reinvention isn’t reserved for the young — it’s simply reserved for the brave.
From Byculla’s classrooms to a Managing Director’s office, Monika Sachin Awate’s career reads like a masterclass in corporate ascent. But instead of resting at the top, she chose to begin again — trading the boardroom for the kitchen, and building Rajdarbar Misal with her husband, Sachin. Her story, nominated for the IBC Excellence Awards 2026, is proof that reinvention isn’t a departure from expertise — it’s a continuation of it.
Before he was a name behind education and youth empowerment initiatives, Sachin Sopan Awate was an engineering student who knew exactly what it felt like to want something he couldn’t afford. That memory became a mission — one that’s now earned him a nomination for the IBC Excellence Awards 2026. From a modest set of tutorials in Mazgaon to the Suryakund Mahapurush Society, this is the story of a man who chose purpose over comfort, and made someone else’s dream his own.
At just 13–14, Katraj’s Yashraj Nitin Fugate is already dreaming big. From practising cricket in a small room at home to earning selection in the Maharashtra Professional Cricket League (MPCL), the Class 7 bowler is steadily building his journey. Known for his in-swing and out-swing bowling, Yashraj draws inspiration from MS Dhoni and dreams of one day representing India at the iconic Wankhede Stadium. His story is a reminder that big dreams can begin in the smallest of spaces—with passion, family support and determination.
At forty-seven, Mamta Sanjay Ulvekar is rewriting the rules of reinvention — trading spreadsheets for spotlights without ever giving up either. An IT professional by day and a voice artist, junior artist, and web series performer by night, she’s now stepping into the Mrs. India category at IBC Belleza Luxe Diva 2026, proving that a woman’s most interesting chapters don’t have to end at forty. This isn’t a comeback story — it’s proof she never left.
At twenty, Shravani Shete is already fluent in two languages most people spend a lifetime trying to reconcile — logic and glamour. Mumbai-raised, Satara-rooted, and entirely unhurried, she’s proving that structure and stage were never meant to be opposites. This is the story of a young woman who refused to choose.
