Anime India is set to make its Delhi debut on 6 and 7 June 2026 at Yashobhoomi Convention Centre, marking the next stop in AnimationXpress’ growing nationwide anime and pop culture journey.
Having established a vibrant community through its Mumbai and Kolkata editions, the event is now set to unite anime, cosplay, and gaming enthusiasts in Delhi for an even bigger celebration.
Anime India Delhi has announced Elle 18 and Instax Fujifilm as exhibitors for the upcoming edition, further expanding the event’s diverse mix of brands, experiences, and fan-focused attractions.
Bringing together beauty, creativity, and self-expression, Elle 18 is set to make a vibrant splash at Anime India Delhi.

“Anime brings together colour, character and self-expression in a way that feels incredibly relevant today. For Elle 18, this is a natural space to show up in, as we’ve always believed beauty should feel playful, expressive and easy, making adulting feel a little more fun. Anime India gives us the perfect opportunity to bring that spirit alive,” expressed Hindustan Unilever head – makeup & cosmetics Nithya Komanduri.
This partnership with Anime India allows Elle 18 to connect with a culturally vibrant and expressive youth community that thrives on creativity and individuality.
