Manju Kapoor | Beauty Therapist
Moving to Australia was a big step for Manju Kapoor. A beauty therapist, she started her career in 1989 in New Delhi, India, and ran her own salon for 20 years. And then one day in 2010, she decided to give up her thriving business and move 8,000 kilometres Down Under. “It was a big step for me and for my career. When I reached here I had to start from the ground up. I did courses in media make-up, hair dressing, and beauty,” says Manju, who in 2013 established her own business here under the name Love Beauty.
“Australia lets you be, lets you grow. If you are honest with your clients, have patience and plan well, this is a land of opportunities,” says Manju. Over the years, she says, she has learned not to expand her business too quickly, and think long term.
“Growth is a stage wise process of development. During the process one can either boost or refine the setting to develop the business. The most important rule is to change and upgrade knowledge,” she says.
“The bottomline is that I love the Australian system. And I think moving here was one of the best decisions I made,” says Manju.

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.
