COMIC CON INDIA has announced its first-ever Jaipur edition, scheduled to take place from 4 to 6 January 2026. The event will be held under the aegis of the Government of Rajasthan’s AVGC (Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, and Comics) Policy, marking a major milestone in the state’s efforts to strengthen its creative economy.
Taking place at Jaipur Exhibition & Convention Centre (JECC), Jaipur Comic Con will be hosted along with the Government of Rajasthan’s flagship initiative – DigiFest, transforming the heritage city into a hub of pop-culture and tech buzz. The event will bring together fans, creators, cosplayers, tech enthusiasts, and innovators under one roof to celebrate creativity, exchange ideas, and share their collective passion, according to the release.
The inaugural Jaipur edition underscores the Rajasthan Government’s commitment to empowering young talent and creative professionals. It seeks to provide a platform for artists, illustrators, and storytellers, while fostering a thriving digital and creative ecosystem across the state.
TiE Global Summit convenor Mahavir Pratap Sharma said, “We are delighted to have Comic Con debut in Jaipur alongside Rajasthan DigiFest × TiE Global Summit 2026. This collaboration, supported by the Government of Rajasthan, under the Rajasthan iStart Program aims to promote local talent under its state AVGC Policy focuses on promoting local talent and driving employment generation by leveraging platforms like Comic Con to showcase Rajasthan’s creators, studios, and startups in animation, gaming, and comics. We thank the Government of Rajasthan for its continued support and vision in nurturing innovation and youth engagement. The addition of Comic Con to this landmark event will further enhance the spirit of celebration, creativity, and collaboration that Rajasthan stands for.”
NODWIN Gaming co-founder and MD Akshat Rathee said, “Jaipur has always struck me as a city built on vivid imagination. From the jharokhas of Hawa Mahal to the mirrors of Sheesh Mahal and the stories etched into the walls of Amer Fort, creativity lives in every detail here. For years at Comic Con, we have met fans from Rajasthan who told us how they would travel overnight to nearby cities just to experience the event. That passion stayed with us. Bringing Comic Con to Jaipur is our way of celebrating that spirit and creating a space right here in a city that already lives and breathes art, design, and storytelling. There couldn’t be a more fitting place for Comic Con’s Rajasthan debut than the Pink City.”
Comic Con India CEO Shefali Johnson, CEO added, “Our goal has always been to bring fans closer to the stories and creators they love. Jaipur, with its rich cultural legacy and youthful energy, is the perfect destination to host our first-ever Jaipur edition. Together with the State Government of Rajasthan and Rajasthan DigiFest, we are creating an event that celebrates both tradition and the future.”
