Anwer Ali Mohammed | Financial Planner
It wasn’t an easy start for Anwer Ali Mohammed in Australia after 11 years as an engineer in the Indian Air Force and then as a branch manager at an IT company for four years. When he arrived in Australia in 2004 Ali restarted or rather kickstarted his life here as a Sign-A-Rama salesman.
In 2010, he started Planet Insurance and Financial Planning. Armed with his Master’s in Public Admin, and Diploma in Financial Planning, Ali has been providing professional financial planning advice and solutions to clients. He prides himself on developing excellent working relationships with all clients to provide comprehensive financial advice based on their individual needs and goals.
“Taking the decision to give up my full time job and start my own business was the single most important moment in my career in Australia. There was no capital except what I could put in. Today, we have grown to have more than 3,000 trusted clients and 12 staff,” says Ali, who specialises in advice on investments and strategic asset allocation.
The way I see it

What I love about Australia… It’s heaven on earth. It’s a country full of opportunities for those who are willing to put in the hard yards
Advice to entrepreneurs… Work hard and thoroughly enjoy what you do. Success will follow

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.
