INTAJ KHAN
EDUCATION & REAL ESTATE
Intaj Khan is best known for building his business empire—the Western Institute of Technology (WIT)—from scratch. “WIT was started in 2007 with about 240 students. Today we have 600 international students from 35 countries; 62 per cent are Indian nationals.”
The businessman has revealed plans to transform Wyndham as he battles to hold his seat in upcoming council elections. “We have so much land here and so much can be done. I envisage the foreshore looking like the Gold Coast or St Kilda as it’s one of Victoria’s biggest hidden treasures.” Over the years, Intaj has moved towards real estate investments around in the West of Melbourne.
Intaj migrated to Australia on a student visa and founded WIT in 2007, cornering the market for VET certificate courses in building and construction. A few years later, he bought Mowbray College for $6.7 million after it collapsed with reported debts of $28 million.
Intaj, who currently lives Truganina with his wife and five children, says, that he has never faced any problems in Australia. “There are Indian immigrant communities in Australia that have settled for 20-30 years without any problems. Australia has a vibrant multicultural society.”

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.
