A Journey of Resilience

My Story

From a small city of community to a national clean-energy mission — in seven chapters.

Chapter 1 · The Beginnings

Kashipur Beginnings

I grew up in Kashipur, a small city that taught me the value of community. My father, Late Shri Mukesh Mehrotra, served as Chairman of Kashipur Nagar Palika Parishad (when Kashipur was still part of Uttar Pradesh, before Uttarakhand was formed in 2000) and later held a Minister of State position. At our dinner table, public service wasn’t a career — it was a calling. I was his closest companion, and we lost him during the COVID-19 pandemic. His values of humility and service shape everything I do today.

Chapter 2 · Foundation

Education & Corporate Foundation

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.

Chapter 3 · Partnership

A Life with Kunwer Sachdev

Meeting “The Inverter Man of India” — building a life together, supporting his 26-year journey with Su-Kam.

Chapter 4 · Resilience

The Fall & Rise

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.

2019 · New Beginnings

Founding Su-vastika

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.

Chapter 6 · Work

At Work

When I lead, I try to remember that the people I work with are whole human beings — with families, worries, and small wins of their own. That is the kind of workplace I hope to help build.

Today · Looking Ahead

Today

Today I lead Su-vastika as its CEO — while raising our twins and nurturing the causes closest to my heart: family, faith, and gifted children.

What I Stand For

Impact & Values

A few of the things I care about in my work — people, and a planet worth passing on.

Green Innovation

I believe clean energy is a responsibility, not a slogan — building thoughtful alternatives to polluting diesel power, and caring about how things are made at every step.

CSR — Illuminating Lives

Rural electrification projects. Solar solutions for underserved communities.

“Energy is a basic right, not a luxury.”

Mentorship for Women

Mentoring aspiring women entrepreneurs in STEM. Speaking at women-in-business forums.

“Your setbacks are not your end. They are your setup for something stronger.”

Beyond the Boardroom

Family & Faith

“Beyond the boardroom, I am simply a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister — and a seeker. Here is my heart.”

Beena Mehrotra — Khushboo Sachdev's mother

My First Guru

Mother — Beena Mehrotra

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.

Seeds, Not Sermons

Teaching Faith Through Stories

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.

Kunwer Sachdev, husband of Khushboo Sachdev

Partner in Life

My Husband — Kunwer Sachdev

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. If you ever want to understand the man behind the titles, his whole journey is told here — the falls and the comebacks both.

A Servant’s Legacy · In Loving Memory

My Father’s Legacy

Late Shri Mukesh Mehrotra, my beloved father, served as Chairman of Kashipur Nagar Palika Parishad (when Kashipur was part of Uttar Pradesh, before Uttarakhand was formed in November 2000) and held a Minister of State position. A man of quiet dignity and tireless public service.

I was deeply close to him — we lost him during the COVID-19 pandemic, a wound that does not fully heal. But his lessons about humility, service, and treating every person with equal respect live on in everything I do. He taught us that leadership is not a career — it is a calling. Every day, I try to honour that.

“Papa, your absence is felt every single day — and your presence guides every step.”
