PENNY SIDHU
SPORT
It isn’t hard to see why Penny Sidhu found herself in Melbourne, with a burgeoning career in sport destined to bring her to the sporting capital of the world.
After a successful stint as digital marketing manager with Kings XI Punjab in cricket’s lucrative Indian Premier League, Penny transitioned to the hockey field, assuming the role of marketing and brand manager for national sporting organisation Hockey Australia.
It is the juxtaposition of contrasts which gives Penny a unique glimpse into the often male-dominated sporting landscape. It’s hardly unsurprising that someone so statuesque could feel as comfortable on the catwalk as she does in the corporate world.
“Melbourne and I are the perfect fit,” says Penny, with reference to the city’s many and varied festivals, the perfect vehicle to explore the more creative aspects of her personality. Penny has indulged in film, comedy, music, architecture and fashion.
Penny’s community values see her working ardently on projects involving women empowerment through sport at the grassroots level. She is also an active patron of the Global Vaddo Charitable Trust Melbourne and Cancer Council of Victoria.

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.

Thank you for your support.
