IEC Awards 2018 Finalist — Young Executive [Female]
Misha Mahendru arrived in Australia in 2012 and was one of the few lucky enough to land her first job in the industry she belonged to from back in India. After getting associated with a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) in 2012, there’s been no looking back for Misha. Early days in a new country are never easy and this was the case for Misha who was juggling between work and academics at the time. Despite that, Misha had given every department of the business a fair go thus understanding the operational nuances inside out.
All the hard work paid off and Misha is now the CEO of Sacred Heart International College. “I look back at the early days and it puts a smile on my face when I remember how I would balance work and academics,” says Misha.
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.
