Zee News has featured the extraordinary story of Kunwer Sachdev, the Inverter Man of India, in a detailed profile tracing his journey from humble beginnings in Delhi’s Punjabi Bagh neighbourhood to building Su-Kam Power Systems into one of India’s most recognised brands in the power backup sector.
Raised by a railway clerk and having sold pens to fund his early education, Kunwer Sachdev founded Su-Kam in 1998 with a non-technical background and sheer determination. The company grew to serve markets across 71 countries, filing 65 patents and winning accolades including the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award.
The article also highlights the crucial role of Khushboo Sachdev, who, under Kunwer’s mentorship, founded Su-vastika with support from friends and family after Su-Kam’s insolvency proceedings. Su-vastika has since emerged as a serious force in India’s lithium battery, solar, and energy storage space.
As Zee News writes: “The establishment of one of the most admired Indian firms, which revolutionised the power backup market, has earned Kunwer Sachdev his place in history — just like Thomas Edison did. And he is not done yet.”
