Tanisha Sharma—Entrepreneur
Right from the start, it was the family business for Tanisha Sharma. ”When I graduated I went to work in the family business—Sharma’s Kitchen. I worked in our manufacturing plant to get a proper understanding of the functionality of the business from the procedures used in packing and sealing products to the mechanics of the machinery equipment used to produce our products. Then I moved to the office where I now manage all ordering, invoicing and general operations,” says Sharma, who was born in Australia.
“The most important moment in business for me was the transition to a managerial position upon which I learnt key skills related to the management of employees and business relationships,” she adds.
A different side
I believe: People generally see what they look for, and hear what they listen for.
What I love about Australia: The weather
What I love about India: The family bonding
Favourite hang out in Melbourne: The city in itself
A must-read: Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
My advice to entrepreneurs: Always have a positive attitude. No matter how difficult or confusing a situation if you are able to see it in a positive light you can make any bad experience or outcome a learning and growing outcome.

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.
