They are a unique publishing house-cum-storytelling studio with big dreams. They call themselves Kokaachi -- that's the name of the monster that featured commonly in the childhood stories of the founders, Prateek and Tina Thomas.

Matchbox Comix are quick comic bites that come inside matchboxes. Edition 1 consists
of six colours (red, green, blue, purple, orange and gray) accordion stories and printed
on thick matte white paper. The tales tales are humorous, weird & whimsical, like the
story of a dandelion’s flight across lands filled with sights both wondrous and mystical
or the cement boy who meets the love of his life.

aliens, ghosts and ghouls, mad scientists and primate armies...well, what's life
without all these characters in it, right? Their refreshingly original stories are a result
of them being miffed at what’s available in the marquee — "mythology rehashes and superhero copycats". We hate them too.
