14 Million Connections. 14 Million Stories. Backing Australian Ambition.
Behind every connection is a story, and Tushar Apte’s is one of backing yourself, embracing uncertainty and helping others rise.
Born in Newcastle and raised in Sydney, Tushar is the son of Indian migrants who came to Australia in pursuit of education and opportunity.
Today, he is a multi-platinum, award-winning music producer, songwriter, composer, music technologist and entrepreneur whose work spans music, film, television and emerging technologies. His credits include Benson Boone, BTS, Blackpink, Demi Lovato, Chris Brown and Bebe Rexha.
But beyond his global success, Tushar is passionate about helping others rise along the way. As he says: "For your own success to actually continue going, you actually have to send the ladder down. That's actually the only way to continue to go up."
Tushar's story reflects the very best of Australian ambition - backing yourself, taking risks and creating opportunities for others.
Story 2 of 14. Over 14 days, we're celebrating 14 extraordinary Australians whose journeys showcase Australian ambition and the power of our global connections.
As we approach the end of the financial year, we'll also be raising funds for the Global Australian Foundation, a DGR-endorsed charity helping disadvantaged Australians pursue their ambitions.
Because when Australians back Australians, extraordinary things happen.
Go further together.
