Expanding Comic Con India’s NCR Footprint

Gurugram’s Pop Culture Community Gets Home Event

Gurugram has developed a cultural identity shaped by a young audience balancing fast-paced work lives with strong connections to both global and Indian pop culture. With residents from across the country working in multinational organizations, startups, and digital-first industries, the city has built an audience naturally engaging with international comics, anime, gaming, and online fandoms while following Indian creators and homegrown communities.

Shefali Johnson, CEO of Comic Con India, explained the personal connection: “Gurugram is like home for me, and it’s a city that lives at a very different pace. 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 the city’s fans, creators, and communities don’t have to travel elsewhere to be seen.”

NODWIN Gaming’s Home City Connection

Akshat Rathee, Co-founder and Managing Director of NODWIN Gaming, highlighted Gurugram’s significance: “As NODWIN’s home city, Gurugram has always been close to us, and we’ve seen firsthand how strong its pop culture and gaming community is. We noticed how many fans from Gurugram regularly travel to Comic Con events as visitors, cosplayers, gamers, and creators. Bringing Comic Con to Gurugram is really about acknowledging that this culture already thrives here.”

Beyond demanding workdays, Gurugram residents show clear appetite for shared experiences, leading to organic growth of community-led fandom spaces across malls, cafes, gaming hubs, and creative meetups. With fans consistently showing up in large numbers at nearby Comic Con editions, the city emerged as ready for a celebration closer to home.
