Akshat Rathee, head of NODWIN Gaming, says, "DreamHack is in the Guinness Records for being the largest gaming festival in the world, with its upcoming Mumbai edition being the first in entire Asia. Elite gamers from the country and all over the world will descend for 72 hours of non-stop gaming frenzy."

For a dose of nostalgia, the organisers have included classics such as Mario Brothers, Pinball, Monopoly and Foosball, among others. Along with gaming, the festival will also have one of the biggest exhibitions called DreamExpo, where tech companies will showcase the latest hardware, gadgets and games. Rathee adds, "It will provide great exposure for the next generation of gamers, and will put India firmly on the global e-sports map." To keep the three-day marathon going, EDM artistes, including Zenith and DJ Shaan, have been roped in. And, even if you're not a gamer, you can still watch stand-up comedy by the likes of Sorabh Pant and Azeem Banatwalla and witness cosplay championships and so on.
