Thinking outside the box
Kunwer Sachdev, founder and managing director of Su-Kam, is a great example of one who turns every problem into an opportunity and converts it into business through his creative talent.
Kunwer Sachdev, founder and managing director of Su-Kam, is a great example of one who turns every problem into an opportunity and converts it into business through his creative talent. A graduate in Physics, and the son of a railway clerk, he now owns a Rs 500 crore company with aspirations to be a global player. He started his career selling ballpoint pens in Delhi. He wanted to do something different. He noticed people in flats and hotels using Master Antenna system and started a cable TV business that gives access to both the TV channels. When his inverter was not working, he used to learn about inverters and started making inverters that work in different seasons and under different conditions. He then added remote controls. https://kunwersachdev.com/kunwer-sachdev-the-visionary-behind-su-kam-power-systems
