From dealers in Lagos and Kabul to solar villages in Gabon and Rwanda, Su-Kam took Made-in-India power to 90+ countries. Kunwer Sachdev on the export journey and why an Indian brand standing on the world stage mattered.
Before Indian businesses used Facebook, Kunwer Sachdev turned it into Su-Kam’s nervous system — connecting factories, R&D and service teams across 70+ countries. The story of an early bet, what was lost, and keeping the heritage alive.
In November 2012 Su-Kam staff uploaded the Technovations deck on SlideShare — 47 slides on Chic plastic inverters, tractor charging, sine wave, Home UPS, telecom, Solar PCU, Brainy, and megawatt projects. Kunwer Sachdev walks each slide.

Kunwer Sachdev on India’s 0% Chinese share in inverters — the Su-Kam technologies, patents, and export markets he built — and the honest second chapter after NCLT 2018.
After one evening of AI fixes broke his website, Kunwer Sachdev stopped asking AI to build — and started asking it to think.
The day I stopped asking which AI was the best — and started asking which one understood me. Five tools, five personalities, one founder learning to conduct.
The evening I handed everything to AI — and spent the next six hours quietly undoing the damage. A lesson about confidence, experience, and what machines still cannot replace.
For three decades, every idea I had passed through another person’s interpretation before it became software. AI changed that — not by replacing developers, but by removing the translator standing between my imagination and execution.
Why speed without understanding creates expensive mistakes — and how the gap between imagination and implementation kills more ideas than failure ever does.
