DOLLY COUTINHO

BANKING

Dolly Coutinho gives 200 per cent to her job, which probably explains how she managed to work her way up from an entry-level job to her current position as manager, home and investment lending with ANZ.

Originally from Mumbai, Dolly came to Australia in 2003. She has two Master’s Degrees from the University of Mumbai in Commerce and Management Studies specialising in finance.

Her biggest challenge when she reached Australia was to make the huge leap from staying home with two kids to working full-time in the corporate world.

“I had to use every care possible. Before school, after school, family day care, you name it. I had no family here. I had to struggle to do everything on my own,” says Dolly, whose daughter Delilah, a student of psychology, was crowned Miss India Australia 2015 and son Dylan is doing his VCE exams.

She still remembers walking into a NAB branch to open an account, asking the lady at the counter how she could get a job, calling an employment agency, dropping her kids off at school, and turning up one hour late. “I was told I would have to go back. I broke down and asked them to give me a chance.”

It worked. “I’ve never looked back since that day.”

Dear Reader,

The Indian Sun is an independent organisation committed to community journalism. We have, through the years, been able to reach a wide audience especially with the growth of social media, where we also have a strong presence. With platforms such as YouTube videos, we have been able to engage in different forms of storytelling. However, the past few years, like many media organisations around the world, it has not been an easy path. We have a greater challenge. We believe community journalism is very important for a multicultural country like Australia. We’re not able to do everything, but we aim for some of the most interesting stories and journalism of quality. We call upon readers like you to support us and make any contribution. Do make a DONATION NOW so we can continue with the volume and quality journalism that we are able to practice.

Thank you for your support.

Best wishes,
Team The Indian Sun
