SUDHIR PAI
TECHNOLOGY
Sudhir Pai’s journey of migration began 15 years ago, when he got the opportunity to hold key leadership roles for Indian IT services in Australia.
Currently the Chief Technology Officer for Capgemini’s financial services business, Sudhir also serves as an adjunct fellow for Internet of Things in Swinburne University. He is also the brain behind setting up Capgemini’s innovation centre in Melbourne.
“When I first got here, the struggle was to find a good place on rent. South Yarra was perfect for family accommodation given its proximity to the city and transport facilities. Also, its library was a hub for the Indian community to meet, which was a good social setting for my family.”
Sudhir says the family adapted easily to their new home. Weekends were spent visiting the Dandenong temple and relishing authentic Indian food.
Over the years, Sudhir has settled into the Australian way of life and his ties to Melbourne grew stronger as he crossed one milestone after another—the birth of his two children, buying his first SUV, then his home. “Regular visits from family, and attending Indian cultural programs keep me in touch with my roots,” says Sudhir, an avid tabla player.

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.
