Company History
Swetha International was established in 1998 by Mr. Challa, a qualifIed civil engineer with a master’s degree from Sydney University and business manager. Mr. Challa initially located the company in offices at Sydney Central. From these origins, the company moved to StrathfIeld in 2001 and later Burwood 2003, where it owns business suites at two locations.
Through its growth during these formative years, it was necessary for the company to move to larger premises due to increasing business and staff growth. Swetha also invested in the purchase of depots at Regents Park and Silverwater to cater for logistical reasons brought about by business growth.
The company is currently based at Burwood today which holds an administration base of 20 people. Swetha has over 300 staff working for its clients in the many core services it delivers each day.
COMPANY OVERVIEW
