The Curious Case of Kunwer to Kunwwer: A Shift That Left Me Thinking

I never thought I'd be writing this.

As someone who spent years working alongside Kunwer Sachdev — the visionary founder of Su-Kam — I witnessed the making of a legend. A man of logic, a man of reason, a man who trusted machines more than mantras. In all those years, I never once saw him fold his hands before a deity or entertain the idea of astrology or numerology. For him, science was the only belief system. Action was his only prayer.

And then, one day, I noticed something strange.

His name — Kunwer — had changed to Kunwwer.

It wasn’t just a one-off. He didn’t test the waters or try it in a single place. He went all in. Every platform — Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Instagram — all of them now carry the new spelling: Kunwwer Sachdev.

Two little letters. One big shift.

At first, I brushed it off. Maybe it was a typo. Maybe a branding move. But as I looked deeper, the pattern became obvious. The only thing that could explain such a calculated change was numerology. And that’s when it hit me — this is not the Kunwer I used to know.

The man who once dismissed rituals and ridiculed superstitions, has now embraced a belief system he never acknowledged before. What changed? What triggered this transformation?

We often think our idols are unshakable — built of stone, untouched by the winds of belief or uncertainty. But this... this reminded me how human even the strongest minds are. Maybe life, with all its victories and challenges, nudged him to look at things differently. Maybe, after all he’s built and all he’s lost, he found himself searching for a deeper alignment — even if it came through the mysterious lens of numerology.

I won’t lie — it stirred something in me emotionally. Not disappointment. Not disbelief. But curiosity and a strange kind of respect.

Because to change your name — to rebrand your identity — is not a small thing. Especially for someone whose name was already a brand, a legacy. It takes courage. It takes a shift within. And maybe, just maybe, it also reveals a vulnerability none of us expected.

He's still the pioneer who redefined the power backup industry. He's still the man who inspired a generation of thinkers, doers, and dreamers. But today, he's also a man who changed — in name, and perhaps in heart.

And that change… it speaks volumes.
