Meet My FamilyFrom a small city of community to a national clean-energy mission — in seven chapters.
I grew up in Kashipur, a small city that taught me the value of community. My father, Shri Mukesh Mehrotra, served as Municipal Chairman and later as Minister of State in Uttarakhand. At our dinner table, public service wasn’t a career — it was a calling.
M.A. in English Literature, Diploma in French. Roles at American Express, G4S, EXL, and Headstrong. Those years taught me how large organizations work — and how people within them need to be heard and seen.
Meeting “The Inverter Man of India” — building a life together, supporting his 26-year journey with Su-Kam.
When Su-Kam faced bankruptcy, I saw my husband lose something he had worked decades to build. But I also saw a man, not just an entrepreneur. My job was not to fix his company — it was to hold him together. And then, together, we started again.
The idea was clean, lithium-ion based energy storage. A story of resilience, not revenge. I didn’t start Su-vastika to prove anything. I started it because I knew we could do better — for the planet and for the people.
Ask any of my team members. They will tell you — I know their children’s names, I ask about their parents’ health, and I celebrate their small wins. Leadership, for me, is just another word for taking care.
Su-vastika is exporting to Africa & the Middle East, targeting ₹1 billion turnover. Patents, awards, and a vision for a greener India.

No CEO has ever done that for me.
“Beyond the boardroom, I am simply a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister — and a seeker. Here is my heart.”

My mother Beena is a designated partner in our family’s Hero MotoCorp business in Kashipur. But more than that, she is the quiet anchor of our family. She taught me that faith is not about rituals — it is about how you treat people when no one is watching.

They are my why. Park visits, sticker books, snuggles on rainy days — I don’t miss what matters. Being their mother is my greatest role.

I am deeply religious, but I never force it on my children. Instead, I give them small doses — a story about kindness, a lesson from our scriptures, told gently at bedtime. Seeds, not sermons.

The world knows him as the Inverter Man of India. I know him as the man who fell and got up again. During the Su-Kam bankruptcy, my role was not to fix his business — it was to remind him that he was more than his losses. That is what marriage means.

Arpit has built his own success in Kashipur, running Mehrotra Enterprises and Mehrotra Hero Enterprises LLP — Hero MotoCorp dealerships that make our family proud. We are two siblings, two different paths, one shared value system.

Late Shri Mukesh Mehrotra, our father, served as Municipal Chairman of Kashipur and Minister of State. He taught us that leadership is service. Every day, I try to honour that.
