How would you like to join an expert discussion on the emerging opportunities in one of the fastest growing major economies in the world and explore how your organisation can build stronger partnerships with India?
On 29 November and 30 November, Asialink Business in collaboration with Australia India Business Council, Australia India Institute and CPA Australia will be hosting a panel discussion on: Australia—India: Deeper Understanding, Stronger Partnerships. Registrations are open now.
India is undergoing a rapid and unprecedented economic transformation. Over the next 20 years, there’s no single major market globally with more growth opportunities for Australian business than India. A growing India will need many of Australia’s goods and services – yet while Australia has long seen India as a key partner country, the Australian business community finds it challenging to enter and engage with the market.
In an effort to further deepen and reinforce partnerships with India, the Australian government recently launched Navigating from Potential to Delivery: An India Economic Strategy to 2035. This comprehensive and timely report unveils up-to-date market insights and practical business guidance in ten key sectors, including education, tourism, agribusiness and science and innovation.
The goals set out in this report are ambitious. By 2035, Australia aims to uplift India into its third largest export market and outbound investment destination in Asia. Via multiple strategic partnerships, Australia looks to build stronger and greater connection with India.

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.
