SIDDHARTH SHETH
SALES
Siddharth Sheth has a vivid recollection of the moment he left India and arrived in Australia. “I left home for the airport at 5 pm. It was a sad moment for me as I was leaving my country, parents, colleagues, pals, wife and kids. But on the other hand, it was the beginning of my new life in Australia—31 December 2008.”
Siddharth started life in Australia as a door-to-door salesman. “I walked miles to save money, didn’t cut my hair for three months to save a few dollars.” He still keeps the pay slip of his first salary of $346.
In 2011, he walked into Le Mans Toyota (Footscray) to buy a car for his wife at and that’s when everything changed. “While negotiating a deal, I was offered a job. Ten months later, I was employee of the month.”
Since 2012, he has been employee of the year. That year he also received the Member Award from Toyota Motors Corporation Australia, in 2013 the Gold Leader Award, in 2014, the National Achiever award from Toyota Motors Corporation Australia, then in 2015, the Le Mans Toyota’s prestigious National Achiever Award for Sales at a ceremony in Queenstown, New Zealand.
“You are never too old to set another goal. Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.”

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.
