IEC Awards 2018 Winner — Young Executive [Male]
Prashanth Puspanathan’s journey as an entrepreneur has not been a traditional one as he is a psychiatrist turned entrepreneur, now running a financial services brokerage. Prash says it has been “a huge leap and an ongoing steep learning curve”.
Prash taught himself the basics of business, getting access to undergraduate lectures in Business and Economics from a friend at Carnegie Mellon and poring through them painstakingly.
“But running a business, I have learnt is primarily still about people and with my background, people is something I understand and enjoy.” So Prash assembled a team with a mix of experienced traders and bright young minds in the cryptocurrency space and today they form the team that is Caleb & Brown.
The company was awarded Fintech Startup of the Year 2018 by the Stockbrokers and Financial Advisors Association, and is now branching out into crypto tax consultancy.
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.
