Brijesh Purohit won the IEC award in the small business category
Behind every great business there is great story to tell. The IEC awards are providing a platform to share those success stories, which can motivate others in the community to work hard and prove themselves.
The IEC awards honour the organisations and individuals who have demonstrated the core values of business excellence, excellence of service, social and environmental contributions. It is great initiative from the team of IEC, and it is evident that the team is passionate about motivating and helping community.
I find myself extremely honoured to have received the community award in the small business category. I am earnestly grateful for the recognition I have received for the work we put into business, because I am very sure that every other nominee for this award has been putting the same amount of hard work into their business. I have faced several challenges on my way here, but each has only strengthened me to make me the person I am today — a thorough professional who knows exactly what he wants; someone who sets his eyes on a goal and does not take them off it unless it is achieved.
The IEC awards are a great way to inspire business owners and individuals who are working hard to serve the community.
Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
Please consider making a contribution today.
Thank you for your support.
