Early Life and Education
It wasn’t inherited wealth for him, you see, Kunwer Sachdev was actually born into an ordinary household in Delhi, where his dad worked as a section officer in the Indian Railways. It might sound weird at first, but he went to a government school in the Punjabi Bagh area, and originally, he fancied himself as a physician. On the other hand, life had different agendas. Failing to get a spot in Med School, Kunwer went on to study statistics at Hindu College, University of Delhi, which was followed by a Law degree at the same university.
And just so you know, in order to cope with his learning, Kunwer sold pens from house to house. This experience served as the groundwork for the man he was to become; teaching him about persistence and an industrious work ethic; selling and communicating skills that would later be required in his business, you know?
The Rise of Su-Kam Power Systems
Just like any typical person Kunwer started his career in the marketing sector, however, the industry was nearly ruled by the cable TV business. However, in the late 1990s, an idea struck his mind and he saw that the cable business was just a small part of the plan. But the thing is, it all failed very badly because at that time, in India, there were too many electricity cuts, and India didn’t have electricity available in every part of the country. Seeing the need of the hour, he founded Su-Kam in 1998 as a company centered on the provision of power inverters that signaled the end of the problems connected with electricity. He didn’t know it yet, but sure Kunwer was about to make it super big in the coming few years or so, and that’s precisely what he did. Back then, slowly, but surely the Su-Kam Company became quite diversified and encompassed solar power installations that were helpful to homes and businesses throughout India.
The Rise to Success and Peak Achievements.
Su-Kam which is headed by Kunwer became a leading player in India in the power backup market which surfed the international market in the Middle East, Africa, etc. And just so you know, Su-Kam was also the leader in the technological innovative power sectors, with several patent registrations showing the company’s creative nature, you know? The first priority of Kunwer was the invention of new products which led to the launch of a few cut-through products as in the case of solar street lights with integrated batteries and inverters used with screen touch and mobile apps.
Revival and the Formation of Su-Vastika
In the spirit of refusing to back down, Kunwer, along with his better half Khushboo, took up a new venture called The Sooner Su-Vastika, you know, where Kunwer ventures to bring his old power backup experience to this new platform. Just so you know, the struggles, the hurdles, and the fear of failure never stopped him from pursuing his goal of providing energy backup solutions, he has finally found his passion in the Su-Vastika company this way. Su-Vastika continued the vision of Su-Kam, focusing on creative power products and solar energy solutions. And yes, it is true that under Kunwer’s mentorship, Su-Vastika has grown, going strong with 60 new applications for patents, six of which have already been granted.
