Rahul Singhal (Entrepreneur)
Having arrived on Australian shores in October 2017, Rahul Singhal says he finds the country a “land of opportunities, a perfect mix of everything that one can think of”.
Rahul, who started his professional career as a sales representative with American Express, believes that there is a subtle difference between a businessperson and an entrepreneur. “A business person could be any one running his/her own business, but an entrepreneur is a person who designs, launches, in short creates and manages a new business venture. It doesn’t matter where you come from, if you have a vision, you will turn out to be an extra-ordinary business person,” says Rahul.
For Rahul, now the Director of Shutiq, a premium shoe boutique catering to the fashion needs of a sophisticated and specialised clientele, growth means togetherness. He believes that when one focusses on the growth of one’s colleagues and partners at work, one automatically grows with them. It is all about creating a win-win situation, for growth never happens in isolation.
Rahul enjoys shopping and travelling and watching movies during his down time, and his advice to budding entrepreneurs is very simple: “If you want to be successful, KNOW what you are doing, LOVE what you are doing and BELIEVE in what you are doing.”

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.
