The IIT Alumni Association WA Innovation Hub recently played host to a name synonymous with global tech leadership—Narayana Murthy, co-founder of Infosys. On his inaugural visit to Perth, Murthy shared insights that resonated deeply with an audience keen on innovation and entrepreneurship.
The event spotlighted the growing influence of the Indian diaspora in Western Australia’s startup ecosystem. Five standout ventures took centre stage, each showcasing unique solutions to modern challenges:
- GrowME, a platform simplifying college preparation for high school students.
- DataCynical, an AI and IoT-powered analytics solution tailored for data-driven decision-making.
- Lorgan Enigma, which applies behavioural science across industries to drive performance and engagement.
- ProGenis Pharmaceuticals, developing cutting-edge RNA medicines for rare diseases.
- TowTray, an on-demand service offering roadside assistance and towing with ease.
Adding to the evening’s inspiring atmosphere, the young women naval officers of INSV Tarini were honoured for their achievements. Their presence underscored the spirit of resilience and exploration, earning enthusiastic applause from attendees.
The event celebrated not only innovative ideas but the brilliant minds driving them. Entrepreneurs, innovators, and visionaries came together to embrace a shared mission of transforming challenges into opportunities. For Western Australia, it marked another milestone in its growing reputation as a hub for Indian-led innovation.

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.
