Meet the ‘Inverter Man of India’ — How One Mistake Led to a 26-Year Company’s Downfall, and a Remarkable Comeback
The Rise and Fall
For over two decades, Su-Kam was synonymous with inverters in India. Kunwer Sachdev built the company from scratch, introduced the first sine-wave inverter in India, and expanded operations to more than 50 countries. At its peak, Su-Kam was India’s most recognized power backup brand.
But as the article details, one strategic misstep during a period of rapid expansion led to financial difficulties. The company entered insolvency proceedings, and Sachdev lost the business he had spent 26 years building.
The Comeback
Rather than retreating, Sachdev used the experience as fuel. He founded Su-vastika Systems, bringing his expertise in power electronics to a new generation of products. He also launched Kunwwer.ai, applying artificial intelligence to energy management — proof that innovation doesn’t stop with setbacks.
“His journey from creating a revolutionary product to losing his company and rebuilding his career shows resilience.”
