INDORE – In 2020, as the global economy grappled with uncertainty, two seasoned professionals with a combined 30 years of global expertise decided to rewrite the rules of the energy sector. Himanshu Dhakad, a meticulous Chartered Accountant, and Amit Singh Chouhan, a strategic MBA, walked away from high-powered corporate careers to bootstrap a vision that has now become a global disruptor: Sunkom Power.
Â
What began as a mission to provide “Society as a Service” has evolved into a multi-sectoral powerhouse, moving beyond simple solar panels to create a blueprint for a self-sustainable India.

Precision Meets Vision: The Founders’ Edge
The meteoric rise of Sunkom Power is rooted in the professional rigour of its founders. With 12–15 years of international experience each, Dhakad and Chouhan brought a unique “audit-to-execution” mindset to renewable energy.
Â
By mastering both CAPEX (ownership) and CAPEX-free OPEX (subscription) models, they dismantled the financial barriers to green energy. Their “Micro-Solar OPEX” plants on industrial rooftops have allowed corporate giants to transition to clean power with zero upfront friction.
Today, their portfolio reads like a “Who’s Who” of industry leaders, including Tata International, KFC, Pizza Hut, NMIMS, Jepika Paints, and SealWell.

Breaking the Oil & Gas Chain
Sunkom’s current mission is its most ambitious yet: systematically reducing India’s dependency on imported oil and gas. By integrating decentralized solar technology into heavy industrial processes, Sunkom is providing a viable, cost-effective alternative to fossil fuels, directly contributing to the nation’s goal of energy sovereignty.
Â
Revolutionizing the Farm and the Home
The disruption doesn’t stop at the factory gate. Sunkom Power is aggressively expanding into two critical sectors:
Sustainable Agriculture: Recognizing that energy is the key to rural prosperity, Sunkom has introduced Solar Mini Cold Chains. These localized, sun-powered units prevent post-harvest losses, effectively doubling farm income by allowing farmers to store and sell produce at peak prices.
Â
Self-Sustainable Infrastructure: The company is now entering the real estate and infrastructure sector, developing Self-Sustainable Housing Projects. These homes are designed to be energy-positive, reducing the burden on the national grid and offering a carbon-neutral lifestyle to modern homeowners.
Â
A Global Footprint with Deep Roots
While Sunkom Power is now operating on a global stage, their operational strength is
particularly formidable in South India, where they have established a robust network of high-performing solar installations. From the industrial hubs of the South to international
markets, the “Sunkom Model” is proving that environmental service and economic growth are not just compatible—they are inseparable.
Â
“We are no longer just an energy company,” says Amit Singh Chouhan. “We are an infrastructure for a self-reliant future.”
Â
“Our numbers tell a story of impact,” adds Himanshu Dhakad. “Every kilowatt we install is a step away from oil dependency and a step toward a sustainable legacy for India.”
