Madras Link is a family owned business that has been in operation for the past 25 years. The business currently has a turn-over of over 10 million dollars. It is owned by three sisters — Patricia Guest, Joan Pereira and Susan Silva – of Indian origin but who have lived in Australia for over 30 years.
The business commenced operations in early 1990 as a wholesaler of handloom cotton household textiles sourced mainly from South India supplying its products to small and large retail businesses in Australia, New Zealand and selected Asian countries. In the early the days the products were mainly sourced from India but they have expanded their supply base to include China.
Trade links. The ‘Madras Link’ brand represented by the Indian elephant is well recognized and represents a range of products with a signature fashion look at affordable prices.
“Our vision for the Company is to be a household name for stylish, affordable and quality home ware,” say the sisters.
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.
