ALPANA SHAH
BANKING & EVENTS
Alpana is the manager at the Williamstown branch of Bendigo Bank. But she is so much more than that. “A mother, an event manager, as well as full-time bank manager is what best describes me,” she says.
Alpana is a leader, visionary and planner. With more than 10 years of banking experience up her sleeve, she takes great pride in her work-life balance.
Her dream is to become one of the most influential women in Australia and she is aware that this requires a plan. And Alpana is not without one.
“Sitting idle is not my game as I am always on to new challenges,” she says.
The Project Gods is an event management company that Alpana started with the aim of setting up a profitable, socially responsible company.
While the Project God gives 50 per cent of the proceeds to various charitable causes, in between her job and company, Alpana has run banking workshops for refugee women to empower them with knowledge of Australian financial systems.
“I believe in making things happen, and that cannot be achieved from a couch. I strive to be one of the most influential women in Australia and every day is taking me one step closer to it.”

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.
