Raisin Saini is a name synonymous with resilience, reinvention, and radiance. Her journey into the world of fashion and pageantry is not just one of personal achievement—it’s an inspiring testament to how passion, purpose, and perseverance can carve an extraordinary path.
Born and raised in India, Raisin began her professional journey in healthcare, pursuing dentistry with discipline and dedication. But in 2022, her story took a new turn when she moved to New York—a move that would soon launch her into the spotlight. The pivotal moment came when she was honored with the Top Model Award, presented by none other than Miss Universe 2021, Harnaaz Sandhu. This recognition wasn’t just a trophy—it was a turning point.
Soon after, Raisin signed with Fenton Models in New York, marking the official start of her modeling career. From there, her ascent was swift. She’s since walked the runways for top Indian designers like Archana Kochhar, Jade by Monica and Karishma, and Anamika Khanna, as well as international fashion forces including Bishme Cromartie, Victor De Souza, and Allina Liu. Her presence on the catwalk is magnetic—graceful, powerful, and unforgettable.

But Raisin’s reach extends far beyond the runway. She has graced the covers of Glamour, Harper’s Bazaar, and L’Officiel, while collaborating with global brands such as Bloomingdale’s, LaPointe, Nordstrom, Golden Goose, Vogue Eyewear, and Massimo Dutti. She is also a familiar face in the beauty world, partnering with industry giants like L’Oréal, Kérastase, e.l.f. Cosmetics, IT Cosmetics, and Amika.
What sets Raisin apart is the rare ability to excel in both high fashion and commercial spheres—without compromising her authenticity. “I am not just one thing—I am many,” she shares. “I am layered, complex, and beautifully multifaceted.” Her journey from healthcare to high fashion reflects this very philosophy: that a woman can be brilliant in science and stunning on the stage.
In the world of pageantry, Raisin has blazed a trail. From winning Miss Bharat NY to securing the Miss Environment title at Miss Grand India, she has proven her versatility. She placed as runner-up in Miss Universe Punjab and made it to the Top 8 in Miss Grand India, solidifying her reputation as a pageant powerhouse. Her achievements and insight have earned her judging seats at Miss World America 2024 and Mrs. Universe USA 2025, where she continues to uplift and mentor future queens.
Beyond her accolades, Raisin is an advocate for wellness and mindfulness, emphasizing that true confidence starts within. Her commitment to meditation, balance, and self-care anchors her ever-evolving journey.
From crowns to catwalks, Raisin Saini is not just walking her path—she’s owning every step of it.
