Speaking on the occasion, Ms. Shilpa Chakraborty, Mr. Sanjay Roy Chowdhury and Mr. Pinaki Ranjan Ghosh, Co- Owners of TRIBE, said, “We are very much attached to Tintin. We could never miss the chance to congratulate him on his birthday. Most of us have grown up reading The Adventures of Tintin, and thanks to the adaptations of radio, television, theatre and films, the comic book character became everyone’s favourite, and have even inspired many of us. He truly inspired us to dream big. With our month long celebration we hope our patrons transport into the world of Tintin at TRIBE and relive their favourite childhood memories.”
