Cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar has picked up a minority stake in Hyderabad-based Suntek Energy Systems Pvt Ltd, which operates under the brand TRUZON Solar.
As per filings with the Registrar of Companies, Tendulkar acquired 1.8 lakh equity shares worth ₹3.6 crore, translating into an estimated 2% ownership in the solar EPC firm.
