As part of Comic Con Hyderabad, the festival incorporates elements of cosplay, comics, fandom, and interactive entertainment. Visitors can immerse themselves in a creative world of cosplay shows, community-driven events, tabletop and board game areas, and meet-and-greet sessions with popular streamers and influencers.

Tech enthusiasts will find a rich array of innovations at the on-site expo, where exhibitors showcase cutting-edge gaming hardware, accessories, digital services, and emerging technologies. The event attracts a diverse but highly engaged audience—ranging from professional esports players and development studios to hardware manufacturers, tech startups, content creators, and fans of pop culture.
