A MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER & CHAIRMAN

Building More Than a Business — Building the Future of Energy

When I founded Sunkonnect in 2017, the vision was simple yet ambitious — to create an organization that could bridge technology, engineering, sustainability, and innovation to accelerate the global energy transition.

Over the years, that vision has grown into a group of specialized companies united by a common purpose: helping industries, businesses, governments, and communities build a cleaner and more resilient future. Our journey has never been about following industry trends; it has been about solving meaningful challenges, embracing innovation, and creating solutions that generate lasting value. We believe sustainability is no longer an option — it is the foundation of future economic growth and responsible development.

As we continue expanding our global presence and capabilities, our commitment remains unchanged: delivering excellence through science, engineering, integrity, and collaboration.

“You are not joining a company at the end of its story — you are becoming part of a journey that is shaping the future of energy.”

About Dr. Avishek Kumar

Dr. Avishek Kumar is a global climate-tech entrepreneur and Founder & Chairman of Sunkonnect. He is also Co-Founder and Board Advisor of VFlowTech Pte Ltd, a Singapore-based pioneer in long-duration energy storage, and co-founder of Datakrew (AI and industrial IoT analytics). A serial deep-tech entrepreneur, he has co-founded three technology ventures spanning IoT, solar energy, and advanced energy storage — each scaled from early-stage innovation to commercial impact.

As founding CEO of VFlowTech, he led the company from laboratory innovation to global commercialization, deploying vanadium-based long-duration energy-storage systems across Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Prior to VFlowTech, he was one of the principal developers of high-efficiency half-cut PERC mono solar modules — an innovation that helped drive a significant reduction in global solar PV module costs. Collectively, his work has contributed to the deployment of over 1 GW of solar and energy-storage projects across multiple geographies.

Dr. Kumar holds a PhD in Electrical & Computer Engineering from the National University of Singapore and a Master of Science in Microelectronics, plus a certificate in Financing and Deploying Clean Energy from the Yale School of Management. An NRF Clean Energy Scholar, he has published over 50 scientific papers and secured multiple patents, and is a frequent speaker at global energy forums, policy roundtables, and academic conferences.
