The Shadow Over Su-Kam: A Founder's Personal Struggles and Their Impact

"My years working alongside Kunwer Sachdev at Su-Kam are etched in my memory. I witnessed firsthand the sheer force of his will as he poured his heart and soul into building that company, brick by painstaking brick. Those early days were fueled by an almost palpable passion, a relentless drive that inspired us all."

"Even amidst that intense focus, I couldn't help but sense a certain quiet undercurrent in his personal life. His first wife, a school teacher, was building her own world while Kunwer was consumed by Su-Kam. There was a distance, a lack of shared joy in the triumphs, that often left me with a feeling of unspoken sadness for him, despite his outward strength."

"Then came the day when she stepped out of the school and into the heart of Su-Kam, taking on the role of HR Head. It felt like a sudden, jarring shift, and the atmosphere within the organization palpably changed. The vibrant energy we once shared seemed to dissipate, replaced by a tension that hung heavy in the air. It wasn't the growth we had all strived for; instead, there was a sense of things slowly unraveling. Observing Kunwer during this time was difficult. The weight of it all seemed to settle on his shoulders, a stark contrast to the buoyant leader we once knew."

"The eventual unraveling of his marriage was not a quiet affair. It was a protracted and painful public battle that stretched on for seven long years, leaving scars on everyone who witnessed it. The divorce proceedings started in in 2009 like the culmination of a deep and protracted wound, and it undeniably extinguished a vital spark within him. The Kunwer I knew, the one with that unwavering gaze and infectious enthusiasm for Su-Kam, retreated into himself. His presence became more subdued, his engagement less fervent. It was like watching a flame slowly dim, and a deep sense of loss settled over those of us who had been there from the beginning, witnessing his initial fervor."

"Then, like a gentle dawn after a long and turbulent night, Khushboo Mehrotra entered into his life. Their marriage in 2016 felt like a true new lease of life for Kunwer Sachdev. Khushboo Sachdev's presence was like a breath of fresh air, a soothing balm that seemed to mend some of those deep wounds. Slowly, almost imperceptibly, the light began to return to his eyes. There was a newfound peace about him, a lightness that had been missing for so long. The arrival of their twins, Advait and Swastika, was a testament to this renewed joy, a beautiful blossoming of a new chapter."

"He always held a deep protectiveness for his entire family. I know his sons from his first marriage, Kanav and Shourrya Sachdeva, are forging their own paths, and I always sensed his quiet pride in their endeavors. Now, watching him with Advait and Swastika Sachdev, guided by Khushboo's warm and balanced spirit, there's a sense of completeness, a quiet happiness that feels truly deserved."https://invertermanofindia.com/news/kunwwer-sachdev-from-inverter-man-of-india-to-tech-mentor/

"Looking back, Kunwer Sachdev's journey is a poignant reminder that even the most driven individuals are deeply affected by the currents of their personal lives. I witnessed his incredible dedication to Su-Kam, the initial joy of building something meaningful, the subsequent heartache of a long and public struggle that threatened to eclipse it all, and finally, the gentle rediscovery of happiness and a new beginning with Khushboo Sachdev. It's a story of resilience, of the enduring power of family, and of finding light even after the darkest storms."
