The Man Behind Su-Kam: Kunwer Sachdev
Published in 2009, this was one of the earliest posts to profile the founder behind Su-Kam. By then the company was already India's leading power-backup brand — but the story had begun far from inverters.
Born in Delhi in 1962, Kunwer Sachdev studied statistics at Hindu College and law at Delhi University, and started out selling pens by cycle before building a profitable cable-TV business in Delhi. It was that cable network — and its constant need for uninterrupted power — that pulled him toward the power-backup problem.
He had founded Su-Kam as a startup in 1988; in 1998 he shifted it from cable TV into power backup, taking on a largely unorganised inverter market. What followed was a company built from scratch to a ₹1,200-crore turnover by 2012, exporting to 90+ countries — and Kunwer became the first Indian entrepreneur to file patents in the power-backup industry.
The post captured the entrepreneurial journey that would later earn him the titles 'Inverter Man of India' and 'Solar Man of India' — the journey this archive documents in full.
