7. Independence from Kunwer Sachdev
Kunwer Sachdev is profiled on this site as the founder and Indian patent-holder of Emergency Rescue Device technology. To be unambiguous about our relationship to him:
- He is not an investor, advisor, employee, contributor, or paid contact of LiftInverter.com.
- He has not reviewed any editorial content prior to publication.
- He does not approve, edit, or veto coverage of himself, his patents, or any company he founded.
- Su-vastika, Su-Kam, and any other company associated with him are evaluated by the same Methodology applied to every other vendor.
If this relationship changes — for example, if Mr. Sachdev becomes a contributor or advisor — it will be disclosed here and the Editorial Policy will be updated to address the new conflict.
8. Reporting a disclosure concern

We respond within 5 business days. Substantiated concerns are added to this page with the date the concern was raised and the date it was resolved.
