INTRODUCING ADHIRA - THE SUPERCONDUCTOR
Adhira Nayak is a feminist bus conductor with superhuman powers ,who fights everyday crimes and issues that people face in a public bus.She wishes to instill peace and tranquility within transport buses and hopes to transform the mindset of the general public.
She also dreams of a future in which everybody stands up and speaks out against what is wrong and doesn’t have the typical tolerant behavior everybody seems to maintain.
She’s aptly named Adhira,which stands for ‘lightning’ in Kannada describing her powerful and swift demeanor.
She does have super powers but at the same time she wants to promote general awareness of people in a public place.She truly believes the you do not need to be a superhero to save the day.You can be less ignorant and more aware of things happening around you.
“Righteous,fast and a presence that does not go unnoticed. Adhira is the much-needed spark of lightning that ignites the
fight for justice in our much beloved form of transport,The BMTC.”
Let’s not continue to be passive bystanders and put our words into action like Adhira does. Delve into these comics to witness Adhira’s daily mission to eliminate crime and restore justice in the city of Bengaluru.

Adhira is the brain child of three design students (Bhaghya Babu, Anwesha Chakraborty and Prachi Malviya under the guidance of Mr.Deepak Srinivasan) from Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology, Bangalore.
Despite Bangalore being a metropolitan city, public safety and awareness has not been its top priority. In order for the public to identify with this fictitious character and to send the message of safety and justice across, the group has also produced a series of stickers, postcards and posters.
