That spirit comes alive at Comic Con. You see fans showing up in cosplay despite the city’s fast pace, artists bringing influences from its streets, and communities celebrating fandom with effortless confidence.
There’s a scale, ambition, and creative spark here that feels unmistakably “Aamchi Mumbai”. We are excited to return with a showstopper that captures the city’s energy, diversity, and love for great stories.”
Shefali Johnson, CEO, Comic Con India, added, “There is something special about walking along the promenade of the newly constructed Mumbai Coastal Road on a beautiful evening, the hum of the city, the sea breeze, and the feeling that you belong to a place full of possibility. Mumbai brings that same warmth and openness to Comic Con. Fans show up wholeheartedly, friendships form easily, and creativity naturally finds its space. From dedicated cosplayers and artists to first-time visitors discovering a new fandom, the coming together of communities here feels effortless and joyful.
We are thrilled to return this May to create another unforgettable celebration in a city that embraces both dreams and fandom with all its heart.”Mumbai Comic Con has historically also spotlighted India’s rapidly evolving gaming culture, with initiatives such as creating meaningful visibility for emerging developers, studios, and original titles.
