An unforgettable evening awaits Boston—one that will touch hearts, stir souls, and unite the community like never before. HEARTBEATS 2025 is not just a concert—it is a celebration of music, passion, and the joy of coming together.
In the Greater Boston area, many of us spend our days as scientists, engineers, doctors, and professionals. But beyond the busy schedules, deadlines, and day-to-day responsibilities, there is a shared heartbeat—a love for music that brings people together. Heartbeats is born out of this very love. It is a reminder that music connects us all, that no matter our background or profession, we can come together to celebrate creativity and joy.
The concept of Heartbeats was envisioned by Rajiv Gangurde, a passionate musician and community builder. He dreamed of creating a space where Boston’s local talent could shine, alongside the timeless melodies of Bollywood. Over months of planning, Rajiv and his team worked tirelessly—rehearsing, coordinating, and imagining an evening that would become a gift to the community. Many of these performers are accomplished professionals who dedicate countless hours to perfecting their art. By day they are engineers, doctors, or scientists, but by night, they become storytellers through music, sharing emotion and energy that can only come from passion.
On stage, audiences will be treated to some of Boston’s most cherished voices. Ashwini Paranjape-Ranade, with her soulful and versatile singing, will transport listeners to the golden era of Bollywood, evoking memories and emotions that resonate deeply. Suzana Naik, a dynamic and radiant performer, will fill the stage with energy, romance, and rhythm, ensuring every note sparks excitement. Raghu Saranathan brings power, richness, and a unique style that leaves audiences mesmerized. And, of course, Rajiv Gangurde himself will perform, sharing his love for music directly with the audience, making every moment personal and heartfelt.
The magic of Heartbeats is further amplified by Boston’s finest orchestra. Angshuman Parashar on bass provides deep, groovy rhythms that give life to every song. Bharat Lagu on tabla fuses Indian classical beats with contemporary melodies, bridging tradition with modernity. Hiral Parikh on Octapad layers the sound with excitement, while Manish Kurup’s guitar weaves romance and rhythm. Nikhil Pendharkar’s mastery on the keyboard ensures harmony flows effortlessly, and Raahil Parikh on drums sets the pulse, keeping the audience captivated from the first beat to the last. Together, they form a musical family that transforms every song into a shared celebration.
A special mention goes to Jawed Wahid, a familiar face in the Boston cultural scene. Known for managing sound and lights at almost every local event, Jawed’s expertise ensures that Heartbeats 2025 will not just be heard but truly experienced. The stage will come alive with vibrant lights, crisp sound, and an immersive atmosphere that makes the music feel larger than life. His meticulous work behind the scenes is a key part of what makes this evening unforgettable.
Adding to the excitement, Jay-Ho! is thrilled to support this event as the exclusive ticketing partner.

It is about celebrating the hidden talent around us—friends, neighbors, and colleagues who dedicate their time and hearts to music. It is about coming together to enjoy, cheer, and share moments of joy.
