Uvaraja Hariramakrishnan (Raja)—Entrepreneur

Sabrini Foods (formerly known as Sabi Foods) is the reason many brands in Australia such as Pattu, Daawat, Vadilal, Sabrini, Miller, QBB, Chings Secret, are so popular. And the man behind the brand is Uvaraja Hariramakrishnan or Raja as he is known.

Raja arrived in Australia in 1996, with the single-minded vision of getting into the food industry because that was what his family did back home in India. “I started researching the industry for a year started the first sales in 1999. Our goal was to have our brand Pattu in every Indian house in Australia. Almost 20 years later, we believe we have gone into every Indian household in this country,” says Raja, who recently added new brands such as Shan Masala, GRB Ghee, Manna Foods and Utsav to the range.

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,
