Paapori Harsh will present The Jugni Story Live at Epicentre, Gurugram, on October 24, blending Bollywood, Sufi music and personal storytelling
GURUGRAM: Vocalist and performing artist Paapori Harsh will present The Jugni Story – The Paapori Harsh Project Live at Epicentre, Gurugram, on October 24, 2026.
The concert will combine Bollywood, Sufi and fusion music with personal stories and spoken reflections. It will explore themes of memory, resilience, identity and self-discovery through the free-spirited essence of Jugni.
The event forms part of Paapori Harsh’s 2026 tour and reflects her approach to music as a medium for emotional expression and meaningful human connection.
An Artist with a Background in Corporate Leadership
Paapori’s path to music began after nearly 15 years in the National Capital Region, where she worked in senior HR leadership, consulting, management training and academia. She later moved towards a full-time creative practice that brings together music, mindfulness and personal growth.
Now based in Bengaluru, she works as a conscious music activist and certified Music and Wellness Happiness Coach.
Her training includes a Sangeet Visharad qualification under the guidance of Vidushi Padmaja Chakraborty, a disciple of Vidushi Girija Devi. Her repertoire spans Sufi, folk, ghazal, Bollywood, Hindustani classical and Indian fusion.
She has also completed Music and Wellness certification from Berklee College of Music, Boston, and Happiness Coaching certification from Berkeley College, California.
Music as a Path to Mindfulness
Paapori believes music can create opportunities for reflection and connection beyond the stage.
“For me, music is not just performance; it is a way to connect, heal, question and return to the self,” she says.
She extends this philosophy through The Music Village India, a community-led platform she founded to bring music, mindfulness and emotional well-being together.
The platform organises wellness sessions and immersive retreats. Its TMV Hope Squad initiative also works to support the mental well-being of underserved young people in Bengaluru.
Supporting Music Beyond Entertainment
Toyota powers the Gurugram concert, while Kognaz, konverz.ai, STRAT-BOARD, Urban Ayush, The Music Village and Teen Keedey support the event.
Through The Jugni Story, Paapori aims to bring music and storytelling together in a format that encourages audiences to reflect on their own experiences and connections.
The performance adds another chapter to her journey of exploring how Indian musical traditions can connect with contemporary experiences of identity, resilience and self-discovery.
