WHO WE ARE A few years back, to avoid the costly expense of traveling abroad to a comics convention, a group of relatively young people in Delhi decided to create one on their own in their home city. With that simple mission, Comic Con India was formed and has now grown to multiple events across the country. The mission has now evolved to create unique pop culture events and engage with fans all across the country. We are here to create world class events that expand the much restricted pop culture in the country, help grow the industries involved and deliver much needed fun experiences to dedicated fans across India. Pop(ular) Culture in India is quite limited in its scope and sorely needs to expand to include aspects that have millions of passionate fans across the country. Comic Con India is dedicated to expanding India's popular culture by creating high profile events that cater to fans of not only comics, but also, gaming, movies, television, merchandise, toys, food & more. Since our inception, we have steadily expanded the scope of our events by involving the various industries that can help expand popular culture. We plan to continue reaching many more communities of dedicated fans as well as bringing our unique events to many more cities in India. We hope to provide a platform for brands to not only be part of our mission to expand popular culture in the country, but to also engage with passionate fans across the country. Comic Con India is dedicated to creating unique events and giving our fans, exhibitors and partners a platform to celebrate their undying love for comics & pop culture.
