Originally from Kerala, Pratap Nair moved to Melbourne 12 years ago with his family, and now works as an IT industry senior executive at Tech Mahindra, which is part of Indian business conglomerate Mahindra Group. Pratap has also served on the industry advisory boards of the University of Melbourne and Deakin University.
Pratap played a key role in global Indian IT firms making a strong foothold in Australia in the early part of the last decade. He continues to work towards bringing together Indian professionals globally to form a virtual community that can influence the way the diaspora functions.
Tuned to his roots. Pratap has interests in community service and has been associated with World Malayalee Council, whose mandate is to run a large number of social projects in Kerala, by raising funds from non-resident Keralites. An avid sports and music enthusiast (he performs in music concerts when he finds time), Pratap played badminton at the Indian national level in the late 80s.
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.
