India's Meenakshi Chaudhary came as the first runner-up title at Miss Grand International 2018. Miss Grand Indonesia Nadia Purwoko was declared the second runner-up, while Miss Grand Puerto Rico Nicole Colon was adjudged third runner-up, and Miss Grand Japan Haruka Oda as the fourth runner-up.

During the question-answer session, when contestants were asked which country they would campaign to end to wars and violence. Sosa answered saying that she would "strategically” choose to visit President Donald Trump "because the United States is an example for other countries. So my first message to him would be: please be an example of peace, love and tolerance."
