Abstract	Music is a universal language, and people of various social backgrounds can be united through music. Entertainment, the main purpose of music and source of therapeutic healing has been vital to our world as post-October 2023. The social bonding which is brought about by music is probably as a result of the stimulation of the part of the hippocampal pertaining to the production (Koelsch,2014). India has an extensive musical history. Our classical music gurus know that ragas influence individuals by modulating their bodily resonance Such ragas as khamaj and darbari are reported to decrease mental tension, particularly in hysteria. Raga jaijaivanti has proved to be extremely helpful in curing mental illnesses and inducing mental tranquility, in contrast, Raga malhar has been very beneficial in anger, overproduction of mental energy, enthusiasm, and even mental instability. Although it needs to systematically establish this raga association. The purpose of the study is to determine how music, particularly music of various genres, can affect subjective vitality and stress levels of workers in the IT-based companies. Different musical genres evoke distinct emotional responses, suggesting their potential in enhancing workplace well-being. This conceptual paper proposes a framework explaining how music and musical genres influence subjective vitality and stress among IT employees. Drawing from theories of emotion regulation, cognitive resource theory, and the biopsychosocial model of stress, the paper explains the pathways through which music affects mood, physiological activation, and psychological energy. The proposed model identifies music exposure and genre characteristics as predictors, subjective vitality and stress as outcomes, and individual differences (e.g., preferences, personality) as moderators. This conceptual framework aims to guide future empirical studies and offers implications for workplace well-being programs.
