NODWIN Gaming has announced Gurugram’s entry into Comic Con India’s multi-city circuit, with the inaugural Gurugram Comic Con scheduled for March 14–15, 2026. The debut edition will take place at the Gymkhana Club Grounds, Sector 29, marking a significant expansion of Comic Con India’s presence in the National Capital Region.
Building on the continued success of Delhi Comic Con, the Gurugram edition aims to bring two days of immersive pop culture experiences, featuring comics, anime, cosplay, gaming, live performances, and fan-led interactions. The event will be presented by Maruti Suzuki Arena and powered by Crunchyroll, with tickets available exclusively on District by Zomato.
With its young, digitally engaged population and a thriving ecosystem of startups, multinational offices, gaming cafés, and creator communities, Gurugram has steadily emerged as a strong hub for pop culture fandom. Fans from the city have consistently travelled to nearby Comic Con editions, making Gurugram a natural choice for hosting its own chapter of the festival.
Speaking about the launch, Shefali Johnson, CEO, Comic Con India, said Gurugram’s fandom has long existed but lacked a shared physical space: “Gurugram is like home for me, and it’s a city that lives at a very different pace. Fandom here thrives quietly—in apartments, gaming rooms, Discord servers, and weekend mall meet-ups. What’s been missing is a shared moment where all of that energy comes together. Bringing Comic Con to Gurugram is about creating that moment, a space where fans, creators, and communities don’t have to travel elsewhere to be seen.”
Echoing this sentiment, Akshat Rathee, Co-founder and Managing Director, NODWIN Gaming, highlighted the city’s strong gaming and pop culture roots: “Gurugram works incredibly hard during the week and actively looks for ways to unwind together. As NODWIN’s home city, we’ve seen firsthand how strong its gaming and pop culture community is. Bringing Comic Con here is about acknowledging that this culture already thrives locally and giving it a space that feels accessible and truly its own.”
Now in its 13th edition, Comic Con India has played a key role in shaping how young Indian audiences engage with both global and homegrown pop culture. By featuring international icons such as DC Comics and Marvel alongside Indian comic creators, the festival has consistently bridged cultures and creative communities.
The event has also become a major platform for the cosplay community, offering performers national visibility, collaboration opportunities, and recognition for their craftsmanship, helping foster a thriving creative ecosystem across the country.
The Gurugram Comic Con 2026 will feature curated comic books, anime and manga collections, exclusive collectibles, and official merchandise. Fans can also look forward to creator signings, interactive panels, and fan-driven conversations with Indian and international artists and celebrities.
Dedicated gaming arenas by NODWIN Gaming, immersive experience zones by Maruti Suzuki Arena and Crunchyroll, elaborate cosplay showcases, and live music, dance, and stand-up comedy performances will further add to the festival’s appeal, positioning it as a dynamic, youth-focused celebration of stories, fandoms, and communities.
Tickets for Gurugram Comic Con 2026, scheduled for March 14–15, are now live exclusively on the District app by Zomato.
