When the Lights Went Out: The Story of a Man Who Didn't Give Up

Jun 24, 2025

The day Su-kam shut its doors, it felt like the lights went out for so many people. Dealers who had put their trust and money in the company were suddenly left with nothing. Customers who relied on Su-kam's products were worried about what would happen if things broke down. The people who worked there, who had families to feed, suddenly had no paychecks coming in.

Imagine the phone ringing non-stop. That's what happened to Mr. Kunwer Sachdev, the man everyone knew from Su-kam. Even though he wasn't running things anymore, his number was the one people had. Every call was filled with worry, anger, and sometimes even tears. People felt lost, and he was the only one they could reach. It must have felt like the weight of the world was on his shoulders.

Some people were so desperate they went to his home, their voices shaking with fear and anger. It wasn't his fault, but he listened. He didn't turn his phone off. He tried his best to calm them, to offer a kind word when he probably felt like breaking down himself.

On top of all this, the banks started saying he was a cheat, even personally. He had to fight legal battles, adding more darkness to an already dark time. Anyone else might have just given up, but Mr. Sachdev stood strong, like a rock in a storm, even though you could see the worry etched on his face.

Then came a little bit of light. His wife, Khushboo Sachdev, started a new company called Su-vastika. She remembered the people who had worked hard at Su-kam and gave some of them jobs. She also started helping people with their broken Su-kam products. These were the same people who, in their own way, helped Mr. Sachdev by taking some of the load.

Slowly, Su-vastika started to grow. At first, Mr. Sachdev wasn't sure about joining in. Maybe it was too painful to remember the past. But eventually, he did. He started putting his energy into new ideas, new technologies. He brought in fresh minds and helped the old ones learn new things.

With Mr. Sachdev back in the picture, Su-vastika started to shine. It was like the lights were slowly turning back on, not just for the company, but for the people who had been left in the dark. It's a story about how even when things fall apart, one person's strength and the kindness of others can bring hope back into the world.
