“Tell me a story.”
It’s one of the first few things we say growing up. Tell me a story. A Kahaani.
Life is a kahaani full of books, poetry, film, music, theatre — the story of our lives. A symphony.
Kahaani Koncerti is a platform where we curate these chapters and present them to you with a three-fold objective: Engage, Entertain, Enlighten.
We are Kahaani Koncerti.
