The world of pop culture is set to paint the Pink City in vivid hues as Comic Con India announces its first-ever Jaipur edition, scheduled from January 4–6, 2026. Organized under the aegis of the Government of Rajasthan’s AVGC (Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, and Comics) Policy, the event marks a milestone in promoting the state’s thriving creative and digital ecosystem.
To be held at the Jaipur Exhibition & Convention Centre (JECC), the Jaipur Comic Con will run in collaboration with the state’s flagship initiative, Rajasthan DigiFest, transforming Jaipur into a hub of fandom, innovation, and digital art. The three-day festival will unite fans, creators, cosplayers, tech enthusiasts, and innovators under one roof, celebrating the intersection of creativity, technology, and storytelling.
A Celebration of Local Talent and Global Creativity
The debut edition in Jaipur aims to empower youth, artists, illustrators, and storytellers, creating a launchpad for local creators while showcasing the potential of Rajasthan’s creative industries.
Commenting on the collaboration, Mahavir Pratap Sharma, Convenor of TiE Global Summit and Past Chairman, TiE Global, said, “We are delighted to have Comic Con debut in Jaipur alongside Rajasthan DigiFest × TiE Global Summit 2026. This collaboration under the Rajasthan iStart Program promotes local talent through the AVGC Policy, generating employment and spotlighting creators, studios, and startups in animation, gaming, and comics. The Government of Rajasthan’s continued support ensures that innovation and youth engagement thrive through platforms like Comic Con.”
The Perfect Canvas: Jaipur’s Creative Soul
Known for its artistic pulse and vibrant culture, Jaipur serves as the ideal backdrop for Comic Con’s Rajasthan debut. With its deep-rooted traditions, architectural marvels, and a young creative community, the city effortlessly bridges the gap between heritage and modern innovation.
Akshat Rathee, Co-founder and Managing Director, NODWIN Gaming, shared, “Jaipur has always struck me as a city built on vivid imagination. For years, we’ve met fans from Rajasthan who would travel overnight to attend Comic Con in other cities. Bringing Comic Con to Jaipur celebrates that passion. The Pink City, with its art, design, and storytelling, is the perfect home for this edition.”
Echoing the sentiment, Shefali Johnson, CEO of Comic Con India, added, “Our goal has always been to bring fans closer to the stories and creators they love. Jaipur’s cultural richness and youthful energy make it the perfect destination for our first-ever Jaipur edition. Together with the State Government and DigiFest, we are crafting an event that celebrates both tradition and the future.”
A Pop-Culture Extravaganza Awaits
Fans can look forward to an exciting mix of comic launches, manga series, interactive fan zones, gaming arenas, and cutting-edge VR experiences. The event will also host workshops, panel discussions, and interactive sessions featuring prominent comic creators, filmmakers, and industry experts. A dedicated merchandise zone will offer collectibles, apparel, and art from Indian and international creators.
Adding to the spectacle will be cosplayers showcasing their skills across genres such as comics, anime, sci-fi, and gaming — including beloved Indian characters like Suppandi, Chacha Chaudhary, and Shikari Shambhu.
Over the years, Comic Con India editions have featured global icons like Ron Marz, Jamal Igle, and Japanese voice actors Kappei Yamaguchi and Natsuki Hanae, as well as immersive experiences inspired by Superman, Minecraft, and Chandrayaan.
Now entering its 13th edition, Comic Con India continues to be one of the country’s most anticipated cultural festivals — and with its Jaipur debut, it promises to be a landmark celebration where creativity meets technology under one colorful skyline.
