On Mastering Spokes with Deepak Kashyap: Kunwer Sachdev tells the real Inverter Man story — rise, fall, and rise again — behind the Rs 1,200 crore Su-Kam empire.
Deepak Kashyap hosts Kunwer Sachdev on Mastering Spokes for a deeply personal conversation about the real Inverter Man story — the rise, the fall, and the rise again — behind Su-Kam’s journey. The episode has crossed 11,000 views and stands as one of the more honest long-form Sachdev interviews on YouTube.
Rise: the Rs 1,200 crore empire
The first act of the podcast is the origin: pens, cable TV, the broken home inverter, and the founding of Su-Kam Power Systems in 1998. Sachdev walks Kashyap through the industrial build-out that took a small workshop trade to a Rs 1,200 crore group operating in 90+ countries.
Fall: the honest telling of insolvency
The middle of the interview is what makes it worth watching: the challenges of insolvency, laid out without softening. Sachdev talks about what actually happened at Su-Kam — the leverage, the timing of the IBC process, the loss of founder control — and does not try to rewrite the outcome.
“The real story is never the success — it is the fall, the lessons, and the courage to begin again.”— Kunwer Sachdev on Mastering Spokes with Deepak Kashyap
Rise again: AI and clean energy
The final third of the conversation is the second act — how Sachdev channelled that experience into new ventures in clean energy (Su-vastika) and AI (Kunwwer.ai). The take-away for founders listening: rebuilding is not glamorous, but the discipline that produced Su-Kam is the same discipline that keeps compounding.
