The Curious Case of Kunwer to Kunwwer: A Shift That Left Me Thinking
The Name That Changed Everything
I never thought I’d be writing this.
As someone who spent years working alongside Kunwer Sachdev — the visionary founder of Su-Kam — I witnessed the making of a legend. A man of logic. A man of reason. A man who trusted machines more than mantras. In all those years, I never once saw him fold his hands before a deity or lend an ear to astrology or numerology. For him, science was the only belief system. Action was his only prayer.
And then, one day, I noticed something strange.
His name — Kunwer — had become Kunwwer.
It wasn’t a typo. It wasn’t an experiment. It was everywhere — Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Instagram. Every platform carried the new spelling: Kunwwer Sachdev.
Two little letters. One big shift.
At first, I tried to rationalize it. Maybe it was branding. Maybe a stylistic choice. But the more I looked, the clearer it became: this wasn’t just strategy. This was numerology. And that realization shook me.
Because the man who once dismissed rituals and ridiculed superstition, had now embraced a belief system he never even acknowledged before.
What changed? What triggered this transformation?
We often believe our idols are unshakable — carved in stone, untouched by the winds of uncertainty. But this reminded me: even the strongest minds are human. Maybe life, with its victories and its losses, nudged him to see things differently. Maybe after everything he built — and everything he lost — he found himself searching for a new alignment, even if it came through the mysterious language of numbers.
I won’t deny it stirred something in me. Not disbelief. Not disappointment. But curiosity — and, strangely, respect.
Because to change your name is no small act. It is to rebrand your identity. To rewrite your story. For a man whose name was already a brand, already a legacy, it took courage. It revealed a side of him none of us expected — a vulnerability, a willingness to change.
He is still the pioneer who redefined India’s power backup industry. Still the man who inspired a generation of thinkers, doers, and dreamers.
But today, he is also a man who changed — in name, and perhaps in heart.
And that change… it speaks volumes.
