Sukhmeet Singh Ahuja—Entrepreneur
Sukhmeet Singh Ahuja, who arrived in Melbourne at the turn of the millennium to do his MBA from Victoria University, decided he wanted to transform people’s lives by providing top quality education. Seven years later, he fulfilled that vision when he founded Angad Australian Institute of Technology in 2007, which he named after his son.
Training commenced in 2008 with one course and four takers for it. Today, Angad offers 17 qualifications to more than 500 students from 30 nationalities.
More than 3,000 students have gained valuable career skills through Angad. “For me the definition of growth is to grow equally in all six spheres of life—spirituality, contribution, career, relationships, health and wealth,” says Ahuja, who also supports a number of charities in India and Australia.
“Throughout my journey, I have always been supported at every step of my life by my parents, wife, and children,” he says. “I believe the most important moments in my career are watching my students and staff excel in their personal and professional lives.”

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.
