Virgin Music Group, a global distributor supporting independent artists and labels, has announced an exclusive distribution agreement with Indian singer-songwriter and composer Papon.
This partnership is part of Virgin Music Group’s efforts to expand its presence in India and make Papon’s music accessible to a wider audience through its international distribution network.

The collaboration begins with the release of Papon’s new single, “Room Khali Hai.” The track follows his earlier release, “Ab Rukna Mat,” and continues his exploration of contemporary sounds and introspective themes. The single is available here: Room Khali Hai.
This release is part of Papon’s indie album, Pura Asmaan, developed in collaboration with Virgin Music Group. “Room Khali Hai” combines acoustic instrumentation with lyrics by Manoj Chaudhry, exploring themes such as loneliness and self-reflection. The track reflects a shift in Papon’s artistic approach, offering a more personal perspective while maintaining his characteristic style.
Speaking about the collaboration, Papon said, “Working with Virgin Music India allows me to reach new audiences while continuing to explore my creative process. Room Khali Hai is a deeply personal track, and the indie music space gives me the flexibility to approach my work in new ways. I hope listeners connect with the emotions behind this song.”
Amit Sharma, Country Manager for India and South Asia at Virgin Music India, added, “We’re pleased to work with Papon as he continues to develop his music. Our role is to provide the tools and resources needed to share his work with a broader audience. His distinctive approach to music aligns with our goal of supporting artists in navigating the evolving music landscape.”
