Accomplished community leader and independent candidate Indu Balachandran, on Pause with Nandini

My guest is the indefatigable Indu Balachandran, an independent candidate in the upcoming New South Wales Local Government election, standing for the Gordon Ward in Sydney's Ku Ring Gai Council.

With a track record in sustainability and  over 20 years in leadership positions  across housing, family services and first nation sectors, Indu brings the will and the skill to make a difference. She is also a passionate musician, actively engaged in community initiatives, received an Atlantic Fellowship (Oxford University), and was the recipient of the UTS Human Rights Award for Reconciliation. 

We speak about her motivations and passions that led to her foray into politics, the hyphenated identity she carries, the challenges and opportunities  for diasporic communities in Australia, and the work she would like to do for her constituency.  

An enjoyable and insightful conversation with a change-maker who is indeed a force for good. Do watch, leave us your comments, and don't forget to subscribe!
