Krishna Pandurangi—Entrepreneur

Apples and oranges. That’s quite literally the only comparison one can make when one sees the diverse career path that Krishna Pandurangi has traversed from his first job with Commonwealth Bank of Australia as a support analyst to his current one as director at the Melbourne-based Prosumer Group, which deals in the import and export of fruit, nuts and lentils.

“Even though I started my career in Sydney as an IT consultant I’ve always wanted to explore the field of agriculture with a strong sense of being able to create a positive impact on quality consumables,” says Pandurangi.

He found a good friend and business partner in Kiran Dhavala and a great mentor in entrepreneur Hari Yellina. “My urge to discover and learn about the food industry became a reality four years ago. The learnings and ups and downs we’ve seen in this business have moulded us into very efficient and resilient individuals.”

Dear Reader,

The Indian Sun is an independent organisation committed to community journalism. We have, through the years, been able to reach a wide audience especially with the growth of social media, where we also have a strong presence. With platforms such as YouTube videos, we have been able to engage in different forms of storytelling. However, the past few years, like many media organisations around the world, it has not been an easy path. We have a greater challenge. We believe community journalism is very important for a multicultural country like Australia. We’re not able to do everything, but we aim for some of the most interesting stories and journalism of quality. We call upon readers like you to support us and make any contribution. Do make a DONATION NOW so we can continue with the volume and quality journalism that we are able to practice.

Thank you for your support.

Best wishes,
Team The Indian Sun
