Aishwarya Sheoran's journey from the glamour of modelling to the prestigious Indian Foreign Service (IFS) is an inspiring tale of determination and passion for serving the nation. Hailing from Rajasthan, Sheoran was influenced by her father, Commanding Officer Ajay Kumar of the 9th Telangana NCC Battalion in Karimnagar, to pursue a career that contributes to the country's well-being.
After shifting to Delhi, Sheoran attended Sanskriti School in Chanakyapuri for her schooling and excelled academically, scoring an impressive 97.5 percent in her Class 12 board exams. She continued her academic journey at Shri Ram College of Commerce, Delhi University, where she pursued her graduation.
While pursuing her degree, Sheoran ventured into the world of modelling and participated in various beauty pageants. Her achievements include being crowned Miss Delhi in 2015 and winning the title of Miss Clean and Care Fresh Face in 2014. She also made it to the finals of the Miss India pageant in 2016.
Despite being selected for admission to IIM Indore in 2018, Sheoran chose to follow her passion for public service and declined the offer. Instead, she dedicated herself to preparing for the Civil Services Examination conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).
With sheer determination and self-discipline, Sheoran undertook self-study for 10 months at home and cracked the UPSC exam in her very first attempt, securing an impressive 93rd rank without the aid of coaching. Her remarkable achievement paved the way for her entry into the esteemed Indian Foreign Service.
Currently, Sheoran serves in the Ministry of External Affairs, representing India's interests on the global stage as an IFS officer. Her journey exemplifies the power of perseverance and the fulfillment that comes from dedicating oneself to the service of the nation.
