ROHINI KAPPADATH
THOUGHT LEADER
Rohini Kappadath is not one to rest on her laurels. She is always looking to make a change for the better. Having recently set up her independent consulting firm, her mantra is ‘disruption’.
“Rather than following one path, everyone should disrupt themselves every now and then. Disrupt and reinvent.”
She has carved a niche for herself in the corporate world and now wants to introduce another dimension into it—social entrepreneurship. And that’s where Shareboxing comes in.
The idea behind Shareboxing is that you need to sort out your favourite items pertaining to a certain age, time or phase in your life and put it in a “Sharebox”. This is then delivered to a central area where someone who will love it as much as you did when you used it and will find a use for it.
“Share boxing is going to change the culture of sharing in Australia because the key ingredient is love. We need to now start looking at working with Councils and take it global,” says Rohini, who continues to be a strategic adviser to government and industry.
“I’m still very much engaged in being an expert on Australia and India relations. My aim is to turn Sharebox into an Australian icon.”

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.
