What is Bakarmax?
So, what is Bakarmax? It’s all about starting a big change in comics. Bakarmax wants to go beyond the usual and make a whole new way of being creative. It’s a journey that began in 2014 through the hands of Sumit Kumar.
Sumit Kumar started getting interested in comics when he began making interesting stories for News Laundry. The titles Amar Bari Tomar Bari Naxalbari, and Kashmir ki Kahaniya delved into societal intricacies, unraveling conflicts through visual narratives.
Realizing the strong impact of comics, Sumit started Bakarmax as a new and exciting website that would do things differently. Pledging to unveil a new comic each week, Sumit’s fervor for comics and animation prompted a bold leap, leading him to wholeheartedly embrace Bakarmax.

Beyond mere comics, Bakarmax nurtures a community of kindred spirits. It celebrates the interplay of characters, human complexities, and everyday realities.
Empowering Aspirations

How Bakarmax founder is Charting Uncharted Territories
Comparing how comics are liked in Japan and India, Sumit thinks the reason is that people in both places are open to trying new things. Embracing imaginative horizons and transcending conventional limits emerge as critical pathways.
As comics traverse from print to digital domains, Bakarmax persists in captivating audiences via videos, animations, and live presentations at comic conventions.
Bakarmax succeeds because its stories are interesting and it involves readers a lot. The website encourages people to interact and be a part of their creative process. Crossing linguistic and cultural boundaries, the comics it creates resonate universally, seamlessly transitioning from virtual realms to physical copies.
Bakarmax Shark Tank India Journey – An Engaging Pitch!
Sumit Kumar’s audacious pitch on Shark Tank India, advocating for a Mars plot purchase, encapsulates Bakarmax’s audacity and vision. While the pitch engrossed the judges, their content, however, couldn’t impress them. Peyush Bansal and Aman Verma gave them the offer to meet them personally once the platform starts to gain significant traffic.
Freelancing Endeavours for Prominent Brands
Bakarmax releases monthly webcomics and animated shorts on their website. It is a place where creators can show their work but the company doesn’t make a lot of money from the website. They make money from lots of different jobs such as creating animated ads, videos that explain things, presentations and interesting social media posts for big brands.
During their pitch on Shark Tank India, Bakarmax founder Sumit Kumar also revealed that the company generated a monthly average revenue of Rs 5.8 lakhs in the last few months. They worked with big companies like AirBnB, Amazon Prime, Bingo, OYO, and Hero Motors which contributed to this revenue.
Among their standout achievements is their collaboration with CRED, where they ingeniously integrated the iconic ‘Chacha Chaudhary’ character into their work. This ingenious fusion of creativity and branding showcased Bakarmax’s innovative approach.
In the enigmatic realm of comics and animation, Bakarmax ascends as a magnetic creative powerhouse, unfurling a tapestry of innovation and delight. Sumit Kumar’s unyielding zeal paints a canvas where comics transcend mere narratives, bridging aspirations and realities. Today Bakarmax is more than just a name – it’s a movement and a celebration of artistry.
