Rakesh Raizada, business leader
It was one of the proudest moments for me to receive the Indian Sun Person of the year 2013 award from Honourable John Howard as part of IEC awards. I never imagined that there will be a day in my life when I will be speaking and John Howard will not only listen but clap for me.
Receiving an award like Indian Executive of the year 2012 or multicultural excellence award by VMC and most recently The Indian Sun Person of the Year boosts moral and encourages me to work harder to support the community.
This is the reason I have started Ramon Consulting & Financial Services to serve the community as a one-stop shop for their entire personal, professional, banking and finance related needs.
Since this award was purely on the basis of voting I thank the people who voted for me and supported me, and most importantly, IEC, which has started such an initiative for the benefit of the Indian community. The awards evening is getting bigger every year and it will soon be a signature event for the entire Indian 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.
