Mr. Prabhakar Agraja – Founder & CEO
The visionary behind Australia India Multicultural Awards (AIMA) is Prabhakar Agraja, a respected multicultural leader, entrepreneur, educator, and passionate community advocate based in Melbourne, Australia.
Mr. Agraja founded AIMA with a simple yet powerful purpose: to recognise talent, celebrate community contribution, and create a platform that inspires people to shine.
Originally established as Australia India Music Awards, AIMA became the first organisation in Australia dedicated to recognising and promoting the passion, talent, and creativity of Indian-origin artists and performers in Australia. Today, under his leadership, AIMA has evolved into Australia India Multicultural Awards, broadening its vision to celebrate excellence across Australia’s multicultural communities.
Beyond AIMA, Mr. Agraja has built an impressive professional and community legacy.
as of 2026, for more than 24 years, he has been a respected business coach and leader in Australia’s education sector, mentoring over 10,000 individuals and helping more than 250 Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) build entrepreneurial capability and sustainable business success.
A committed multicultural advocate in Victoria, he has also received multiple recognitions for his contributions toward community leadership, inclusion, and multicultural engagement.
Born in Tirupati, India, Mr. Agraja is a self-made individual whose journey reflects resilience, service, and passion. A multilingual singer, performer, and arts enthusiast, he was twice recognised as a finalist in “Telugu Voice of Australia”, and has also contributed to the Telugu film industry as an actor.
At the heart of his work is his guiding philosophy:
“Serving Humanity is Serving God”
“Maanava Sevey Maadhava Seva”
“Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” (The world is one family)
These values continue to shape AIMA’s purpose, vision, and community impact.
How AIMA Started
How AIMA Started
A Vision Born During Challenging Times
A Vision Born During Challenging Times
AIMA’s journey began during the global COVID-19 pandemic—a period of uncertainty, isolation, and emotional stress for communities worldwide.
In April 2020, as a voluntary community wellbeing initiative, Mr. Prabhakar Agraja launched “Covid Geethmala”, an online musical platform created to spread positivity, encourage people to stay safe at home, and provide comfort through music. The initiative invited local and international Indian singing talent to perform online, creating a vibrant virtual space where listeners could relax, connect, and find relief during lockdowns. The core message was simple: Stay Home. Stay Safe. Stay Connected Through Music.
As the initiative gained momentum and community support, it evolved into a larger movement. In December 2020, the platform was officially rebranded as: AIMA – Australia India Music Awards With support from EduCATER, special recognitions such as “Best Performer of the Day” certificates were introduced, encouraging performers and celebrating artistic achievement. What began as a volunteer-driven online music initiative soon became a recognised cultural platform—bringing communities together through talent, positivity, and purpose.
During April 2026, that same spirit continues through AIMA’s broader multicultural mission named as " Australia India Multicultural Awards"
