He co-founded the company in 2013 with the aim of creating high-performance electric scooters that would appeal to Indian consumers. Ather's flagship products are its electric scooters, known for their advanced technology, such as smart features and connected mobility.
What is Ather Energy?
Ather Energy is a pioneering EV startup focused on designing and manufacturing electric scooters in India. Their products, like the Ather 450X, combine cutting-edge technology with sleek design, aiming to disrupt the traditional scooter market by offering a sustainable and modern alternative to conventional petrol scooter.
How has customer behaviour changed toward EVs in India?
Initially, many Indian customers were sceptical about electric vehicles, but over time, especially after Ather’s launch in 2018, there has been a shift. Consumers began expecting EVs to offer a similar, if not superior, experience to conventional vehicles. Today, EV buyers are more discerning, expecting high-performance, reliability, and an upgraded lifestyle from electric vehicle.
