Rakesh Gupta—Entreprepeneur
Growth is a mindset that means different things to different businesses, says Rakesh Gupta. “To me growth is staying ahead of the competition through continuous learning and innovation.”
Gupta arrived in Australia in 2004, his first job as a team member at Oporto. “Working in a fast paced environment taught me the value of collaboration,” he says.
Gupta then launched off in a career in finance in 2009, starting his company ARG Finance four years later. “I have always worked towards understanding the needs of my clients since the beginning of my career and won rookie of the year 2009 for my exceptional performance at work. I knew that was the sign that I could do well on my own,” he says.
In just four years ARG Finance has grown to a team of more than twelve brokers and two offices in Melbourne, covering the whole Melbourne metropolitan region.

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.
