According to the official website of the beauty pageant, Nandini believes that “rejections play a crucial role in defining who one is as an individual. And is determined to face all the challenges, failures, and rejections that may come her way as she embarks on the journey of a lifetime." About her home state, Rajasthan, Nandini has said that its heritage, culture, and traditions are what set it apart from others. "India spreads the message of Atithu Devo Bhavah, and we, Rajasthanis, greet them with Padharo Mhare Desh."
Nandini will now represent India at the 71st Miss World competition, to be held in 2024 in the United Arab Emirates. Delhi’s Shreya Poonja and Manipur's Thounaojam Strela Luwang were the first and second runner-ups of the Femina Miss India 2023.
