Victorian Senior of the Year – COTA Senior Achiever Award recipient, Pradeep Kanthan.

Welcome to my blog.

Here you’ll find my commentary, analysis, and reflections on a wide range of subjects. I write to question assumptions, challenge prevailing narratives, and offer perspectives that add depth to general perception. I also review books and films that intersect with history, society, and global affairs.

I am an independent researcher, invitational speaker, businessman, and consultant. My professional journey has included roles with the New Zealand Asia Institute at the University of Auckland and Property Council New Zealand, where I worked across research, external relations, and community engagement.

For decades, I have volunteered with organisations supporting migrants, the hard of hearing, computer education, and ethnic communities. I have also actively participated in the Rotary Foundation’s Polio Plus programme, contributing to global public health efforts.

Please feel free to explore my writings and share your thoughts.
