The ultimate pop culture festival, Comic Con India, has announced Guwahati as its newest host city, bringing two days of complete indulgence in comics, cosplay, anime, gaming, and fun experiential sessions
New Delhi, 26 August 2025: Comic Con India, the country’s biggest and most loved pop culture celebration, announced its entry into the vibrant city of Guwahati, marking its first-ever edition in the Northeast. The maiden Guwahati edition will be hosted on 22nd and 23rd of November, bringing the Comic Con experience to an all-new audience.
This new chapter will bring Comic Con experience not only to Guwahati but will also cater to fans across the entire Northeast region. This expansion is our way of recognizing the incredible potential and passionate fandom that the region has long shown for comics, cosplay, and pop culture.
This move reflects Comic Con India’s deeper connection with India’s evolving youth culture and its commitment to celebrating the fandom across every corner of the country.
“For us, bringing Comic Con to Guwahati is not just about adding a new city, it is about opening a long overdue chapter for the Northeast. You see the creative fire here everywhere, in the colours of Bihu dances, the sound of the dhol and pepa, in the handwoven elegance of a Mekhela Sador, and in the passion for comics, anime, cosplay, and gaming that fills college fests and community gatherings across the region. Guwahati has always been a cultural gateway to the Northeast, and now it becomes the stage where this imagination and energy can shine for the world to see. The region has always had a deep love for cosplay and pop culture. Every year, fans from the region have travelled across the country, standing out with their creativity, dedication, and joy at national Comic Cons. Now, for the first time, they do not need to travel to be seen. Comic Con comes to Guwahati, giving this passionate community a stage at home where their art, effort, and love for the culture can shine brighter than ever.” said Akshat Rathee, Co-founder and MD, NODWIN Gaming.
“My hope is that a young cosplayer stitching their costume late into the night, an artist sketching superheroes inspired by local legends, or a gamer practicing with friends in a cafe can walk into Guwahati Comic Con and feel: ‘this is my place, my people, my future.’ That is what makes this moment so special.” he added.
According to the New Horizons ranking by digital travel platform Agoda, Guwahati has emerged as India’s fastest-growing destination for international travellers, another reason to make it a perfect destination for Comic Con India to enter the market. By merging global fandoms with local energy, Comic Con India in Guwahati strengthens the city’s reputation, where tradition, creativity, and modern aspirations collide.
Adding to this, Shefali Johnson, CEO, Comic Con India, commented, “Our expansion into Guwahati is not just about adding another city, it is about celebrating every fandom and building authentic experiences. We are committed to keeping Comic Con accessible and we want people from across the country to be able to celebrate this fandom culture. With gaming, cosplay, music, and comics at its heart, this season will resonate deeply with the energetic youth culture of the Northeast.”
Comic Con is a dynamic mix of global and local fandoms designed to resonate with today’s Gen Z and millennial audiences. It offers a platform for creative self-expression, bringing together India’s finest creators alongside international talent to inspire the next generation of artists, illustrators, and storytellers.
Comic Con is a launchpad for creative careers, bringing together the art of storytelling and celebrating local talent in cosplay, comics, and creative studios. It offers a platform where new voices can be discovered and where illustrators, writers, and artists can showcase, sell, and receive feedback on their work. More than just an event, it’s a collective stage for the Northeast’s creative community to shine, collaborate, celebrate, and grow together. Alongside this cultural celebration, gaming and esports zones add an extra layer of excitement, creating a vibrant space where creativity, fandom, and play all converge.
From the beats of Bihu to K-pop playlists, from silk Mekhela Chadors to anime cosplays, the city can embody a unique blend of local tradition and global influence.
The Guwahati edition will mark a milestone, extending Comic Con’s reach to the Northeast and underlining its position as India’s definitive pop culture festival.
