Visakhapatnam:Bringing India’s pop culture celebration to the city for the first time, Comic Con India is set to begin its 2026–27 season in Visakhapatnam on October 10th and 11th at the Kalam Convention Centre.
Since its acquisition by NODWIN Gaming, Comic Con India has continued to expand to new metro and tier 2 cities, making pop culture experiences more accessible to admirers across India.
Following the announcement, Shefali Johnson, CEO, Comic Con India, said, “Visakhapatnam has a strong connection with Telugu cinema, but its fandom culture is now expanding beyond films. With growing anime, cosplay and student communities, Vizag is emerging as a vibrant pop culture hub. We wanted to start the season in Vizag, a city where fandom culture is steadily growing. The city has a deep connection with its own pop culture, from beloved Telugu classics like Budugu to newer forms of content and art. We want to bring these local stories and cultural influences to the same platform alongside new-age formats, and celebrate them together.”
The previous season travelled across 11 cities and welcomed more than 3.5 lakh attendees, making it the biggest season yet. The Vizag edition will mark the beginning of Comic Con India, which will travel to cities across the country in the coming months.
