It’s humbling to see parts of my life’s work and the journey of Su-Kam captured in the pages of books. These aren’t just stories about business; they’re about the human spirit, the struggles, and the unwavering belief that innovation can change lives. My story, from a young man with a dream to being known as the “Inverter Man of India,” is deeply personal, and to see it resonate with authors and readers is an emotional experience. It reminds me that every challenge was a lesson, every setback a redirection, and every small victory a step toward a larger purpose.
The Foundations: A Dream from the Start
Before Su-Kam was a name, it was a vision. It was born from a deep understanding of the power problems faced by every Indian household. I saw the frustration of frequent power cuts and the limitations they placed on people’s lives and dreams. This wasn’t just about building a company; it was about building a solution, a promise of uninterrupted power. It’s this core belief that fueled the long nights, the countless rejections, and the relentless pursuit of a technology that was a perfect fit for our country’s needs.
Lessons from the Pages: My Story in Three Books
“Connect the Dots” by Rashmi Bansal: This book holds a special place in my heart because it speaks to the messy, beautiful reality of starting from scratch. It tells the story of how a small, unconventional idea, driven by passion, can overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. My inclusion here is a testament to the fact that you don’t need a massive legacy to make a difference; you just need a belief in what you’re doing. It reminds me of the fire I had in my belly during those early days.
“Booming Brands” by Harsh Pamnani: Being featured in this book feels like a validation of the hard work we put into building trust and a brand that people could rely on. It’s not just about selling a product; it’s about selling reliability and a commitment to quality. This book captures the journey of how a small player became a name synonymous with power solutions. It’s a tribute to the thousands of people who trusted us with their power needs and helped us grow.
“How 11 Indian Companies Pulled Off Innovation in India” by Porus Munshi: Innovation has always been the heartbeat of Su-Kam. We never wanted to just follow; we wanted to lead. This book’s recognition of our indigenous innovation is deeply moving because it validates the countless hours spent in our labs, developing solutions that were uniquely Indian. We believed that India deserved technology built for its specific challenges, and this book recognizes that our commitment to that ideal was not in vain.
A Legacy Beyond Products
As I reflect on these books, I see more than just business narratives. I see a legacy of perseverance, a commitment to making a positive impact, and a story of a dream that became a reality. It’s my hope that these stories continue to inspire a new generation of entrepreneurs, reminding them that their personal journey is the most powerful story they can ever tell. My story is intertwined with the story of Su-Kam, and it’s a testament to the incredible potential that lies within the Indian entrepreneurial ecosystem.
