For this event, KOCCA India invited 60 Indian AVGC organizations and companies, with 46 ultimately attending. The program consisted of IP pitching sessions, where four representative companies— Atoonz, Aurora World, Live K, and SLL introduced their flagship content, generating high expectations among Indian firms.

In addition to the four pitching companies, Funny Flux, Studio Meta-K, and The Pinkfong Company participated in 1:1 export consultations, exploring collaborative business opportunities with Indian counterparts through networking receptions.
