The Man Who Put Su-Kam on Facebook in 2006 — Kunwer Sachdev’s Digital Vision
June 2006 — A Moment That Changed Su-Kam Forever
It was 2006. Facebook was still a curiosity in India, a platform most people had only just heard of. Few could imagine that it would one day reshape how businesses and people connect. But Kunwer Sachdev, the visionary founder of Su-Kam, had already seen what others could not: the future of communication.
One afternoon in his office, his team gathered around as he excitedly opened Facebook on his computer. “This is the future,” he declared, with the same conviction he had shown in revolutionizing India’s power backup industry. And with that, Su-Kam’s first official Facebook page was born — one of the earliest corporate pages in India, long before social media marketing was even a concept.
Building a Digital Family at Su-Kam
For Mr. Sachdev, Facebook was never just about visibility. It was about connection, culture, and community.
He personally encouraged every employee to create their profiles, trained them to engage, and urged them to share their stories. Slowly, Su-Kam’s page transformed into something far greater than a corporate account: it became a digital family.
- Factory workers proudly posted photos of newly assembled inverters.
- Engineers shared updates on product innovations.
- Dealers and distributors uploaded snapshots of installations across India.
- Employees celebrated birthdays, milestones, and product launches together online.
For the first time, Su-Kam wasn’t just a workplace — it was a living, breathing ecosystem of people bound by pride and passion. And at the center of it all was Kunwer Sachdev, commenting, appreciating, and motivating, ensuring no achievement went unnoticed.
Years Ahead of His Time
Most Indian companies wouldn’t embrace Facebook until much later. Yet in 2006, Kunwer Sachdev had already woven it into the fabric of Su-Kam’s daily culture. He understood a truth that many CEOs still overlook today: a company is not only about its products, but about its people and their stories.
Su-Kam’s Facebook page became a digital window into the soul of the company — where innovation met humanity, and where every employee felt like part of something larger.
A Legacy Preserved Online
After Su-Kam’s bankruptcy and Kunwer Sachdev’s exit from the company (IBBI public announcement), the Facebook page he had lovingly built remained as a silent testament to his leadership. Today, though inactive, it still carries 145,000 followers — a digital archive of Su-Kam’s golden era.
Scrolling through it now feels like opening an old family album: factory pictures, product launches, smiling employees, and proud dealers — all frozen in time. They are not just posts; they are memories, milestones, and moments that define the legacy of a man who was always ahead of his time.
Kunwer Sachdev didn’t just create a Facebook page. He created a movement that connected thousands of people and turned a company into a family. And though the posts may now be still, the spirit behind them continues to live on — a digital legacy that remains immortal.
