Beyond CBD: How an Indian grocery store in Shepparton became a cultural and community anchor
from SBS Hindi
If Indian food is a cultural bridge between Australia and India, then the grocery stores serving both the Indian diaspora and the wider community are at the heart of that connection. Their role is even more significant in regional Australia, where they often act as cultural ambassadors, introducing local communities to Indian flavours, traditions and products. In this podcast, we speak with Vinay Kumar, a grocery store owner in the regional Victorian city of Shepparton, about the vital role his business play in bringing communities together.
