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, 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.
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.

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, 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.”
A father, a public servant, a man of unwavering values. Elected Chairman of Kashipur Nagar Palika Parishad in 2003, and in October 2005 conferred the rank of Minister of State by Hon’ble Chief Minister Pandit Narayan Datt Tiwari ji as Vice Chairman, Uttaranchal State Small Industries Development Advisory Committee. These moments capture who he was — quietly, faithfully, with grace.

— Cuttings preserved by the Mehrotra family. Digitised and shared here with reverence for his memory and gratitude to the publications that documented his service. —
Papa, you taught me that the smallest act of service — remembering someone’s name, making time for someone’s problem — is the truest form of leadership. Everything I build, every team I lead, every kindness I offer — carries your fingerprints. — With love, Khushboo
