Maruti Suzuki presents Pune Comic Con powered by Crunchyroll is returning on February 6 and 7, 2027, at Messe Global Laxmi Lawns, Pune, for a pop-culture-inspired weekend. 

Shefali Johnson, CEO, Comic Con India, said, “Pune has a character that is distinctly its own, from the heritage streets of Shaniwar Peth and the cultural hub of Deccan to the bustling FC Road and the creative pockets of Aundh and Viman Nagar. The city’s love for Marathi theatre, literature, cinema and art reflects a cultural identity that is deeply rooted yet constantly evolving. This blend of local character and global influences makes Pune an exciting destination for Comic Con. We look forward to bringing the city’s fandom community together for a weekend of creativity, self-expression and everything they love about pop culture.”

Akshat Rathee, Co-founder and Managing Director, NODWIN Gaming, said, “Pune is a city of many shades, from the historic charm of Shaniwar Wada to the buzzing cafés of Koregaon Park. Its young audience has a strong appetite for gaming, music and experiences that bring people together. From the legacy of NH7 Weekender to its growing gaming and esports communities, Pune has always had a way of bringing people together through shared passions. And much like its love for misal pav and bhakarwadi, the city’s love for its interests runs deep. Comic Con brings these passions under one roof, giving fans a space to celebrate their favourite stories, discover new worlds and connect with people who love the same things they do.”

Comic Con, a subsidiary of NODWIN Gaming, will bring collectables and exclusive merchandise to new art
collections by independent artists and creators. The previous edition drew over 25,000 fans with an immersive pop-culture experience featuring blockbuster-themed installations, anime experiences, racing simulators and gaming zones. This year, fans can look forward to even more, with dedicated gaming and VR zones, interactive brand experiences, creator interactions, live music performances, stand-up comedy and much more.
