Divita was born in Mangalore, but she stayed in different parts of the country throughout her life as her father's profession involved traveling across the country. Apart from being a model, Divita is also an architect by profession. A firm believer in the power of education and inspired by her father’s struggles to educate himself, she hopes to use her work and platform to make education more accessible to children, especially girls. By partnering with India’s top NGOs like CRY, Nanhi Kali, and Teach for India, she hopes to empower children with the freedom of choice. Divita also preaches a healthy and positive mindset along with healthy lifestyle. She could be making a back-to-back win for her country at Miss Universe 2022.
