His entrepreneurial journey inspires countless aspiring entrepreneurs. His contributions have been recognized with accolades such as “Solar Man of India” and “India’s Most Respected Entrepreneur”. Mr. Sachdev’s legacy is also evident in his current work as a member of the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority, where he continues to contribute to the community. Let me know if you’d like a longer or more focused introduction on a specific aspect of his life or work! https://www.kunwersachdev.com/ A New Spark: Su-vastika’s Rise But life’s journey, like power grids, sometimes demands reconfiguring. While Su-kam’s legacy continued, Kunwer felt the pull of a fresh challenge. Su-vastika became his canvas, a startup driven by the promise of a sustainable future. Armed with his vast experience and industry wisdom, he mentors Su-vastika’s young team, guiding them toward an innovative lithium-based energy storage system. in the earlier role at Su-kam he built the small Inverters UPS batteries for homes and offices now his vision has shifted towards green Lithium batteries and High-Capacity Storage Systems which can remove the big Diesel Generators from the offices, factories and Institutions. His dream is to replace Lead Acid battery in every home and offices where earlier Inverter/UPS are installed with his Retrofit Lithium batteries specially designed for existing products installed in the market. Beyond Batteries: A Guiding Light Mr. Kunwer Sachdev is an inspirational force, a beacon of knowledge, and a testament to the power of reinvention. He embodies the spirit of continuous innovation, urging Su-vastika to push boundaries and rewrite energy storage rules. Mr. Kunwer Sachdev has started into the new field of Lithium battery banks and Energy Storage Systems with a Solar focus. Lithium-ion batteries are going to be everywhere in electric vehicles, storage businesses, medical equipment, etc. Now, the power situation in India is becoming better, and the Heavy Diesel Generators are going to be replaced with Lithium Energy Storage Systems, which could be of the size of 1MW or more, for which Mr. Sachdev is working relentlessly with his fresh young team to make it happen. https://suvastika.com/su-vastika-pioneers-safety-first-indian-company-awarded-ce-mark-for-key-power-backup-products/ In the end, Kunwer Sachdev’s journey – from Su-kam’s pioneer to Su-vastika’s guiding light – is a story not just of power but of purpose.

The primary focus of Suit-svastika, with Mr. Sachdev’s mentoring, is Lithium batteries for Inverters, UPS, Solar Hybrid Inverters and Energy Storage Systems and a particular focus on Lift Inverters with Lithium batteries. Su-vastika has already developed Lithium batteries for the existing Lithium Inverters, Lithium UPS, Lithium-ion battery based Solar Hybrid Inverters and Solar PCUs, focusing on Lithium-based Solar PCUs and Hybrid Solar Inverters installed in the market. Su-vastika aims to replace the existing Tubular Lead Acid market with clean Lithium batteries. The company has already made Energy Storage Systems to replace diesel generators and earn carbon credits for its clients. Another breakthrough is Lift Inverters/ERD to replace the lifts with the latest ERD technology, which runs the lifts uninterrupted in case of power failures. These lift Inverters can replace diesel generators in multistoried buildings and run on clean Lithium battery energy. Su-vastika is very aggressive on the patents and certifications side, as well as the ISO-9001 certification, BIS Certification, CE certification, etc. From Su-kam’s Legacy to Su-vastika’s Vision: The Guiding Hand of Kunwer Sachdev
