The tradition of conference around "HCI theme" in India dates back to the year 2000, when few enthusiasts from IIT-IDC & fellow professionals organized a small conference in Bangalore. The present India HCI series of conference was first organized in year 2004. Ultimately it gained the momentum when people and professionals across the Indian IT industry and academia felt a need of right forum to discuss and discourse the progress and challenges covering a broader perspective of Human Computer Interaction. Reincarnation of India HCI conference in year 2009 at Mumbai got the mandate from larger audience of conference participants to get organized annually in different cities of India. India HCI 2010 was organized in collaboration with IDID 2010 (Interaction design for International Development 2010) and enjoyed the participation from Europe and USA.
