Big shot in the arm for RnD in India! Developing Deep Tech requires access to patient capital. A ₹1 lakh crore push for R&D is more than a funding headline. It is a structural fix for a gap we have carried for decades. Startups and Private R&D in India have always sat between…
#CabinetDecisions Historic decision today for private sector industries and startups by the Cabinet !! The Union Cabinet, under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji @narendramodi, has approved the Research Development & Innovation (RDI) Scheme with ₹1 lakh…
Thank you Shri @amitabhk87 sir! The depth of talent in India today is phenomenal. Builders, engineers, operators all shaping the future of mobility and beyond. It's an exciting time to be building here, and this is just the beginning.
This is just the beginning for companies like @AtherEnergy, founded by two IIT Madras grads @tarunsmehta and @swapniljain89. As EV penetration accelerates across India, we need more young entrepreneurs betting on sustainable mobility. Now a major player in the Indian EV market,…
An example of how Indian entrepreneurs are very much capable of thinking fundamental deep tech from first principles. Tech doesn't get deeper than this. @DV_Apoorv and Uttam have been rethinking cells architecture, from design to process. The design was so novel that it just…
Here is a small example of what we did at @eTRNL_Energy We were developing a completely new way of making battery electrodes... which meant that there existed neither a manufacturing process nor machines to do so. We designed our own process, built our own machines and…
For various reasons both my vehicles were parked at office and I had no ride to office. Tried booking an auto because it is only 4kms, but the price was 175. Heck with it, just decided to take a bus to office at 12 rupees. This is me protesting against the stupid auto prices.…
Ather Community Day has always been about sharing what we build and, more importantly, how we build it. This year, you will see more of what the future of design and engineering at Ather looks like, and the many small, hard choices that make a big difference. Community Day…
#AtherCommunityDay25 is here! Mark your calendars.
Yes! Please do it. 22 not 20 ndtvprofit.com/nation/air-con…
Pretty insighful article of how one should look at investment in climate tech and hardware in general hindustantimes.com/cities/mumbai-…
Thanks @Tejasvi_Surya for the wishes. It was refreshing to see the interest you showed in our patent portfolio and the engineering work we do at Ather. Your focus on the growth of the city and country was quite inspiring. Would be happy to play our part in the growth of the city…
Met Ather Energy founders @tarunsmehta and @swapniljain89 at their Bengaluru facility and congratulated them on the recent IPO milestone. What began as a college startup has grown into a technology pioneer, and is one of the very few companies in the ecosystem to build…
Excited about our investment in @Neuro_stellar The IITM cell incubated startup is approaching wearables with a clear Design in India philosophy. Focusing on the mental wellbeing. Orbit by Neurostellar is a smart headband for mental fitness, employing a multi-modal approach with…

This sound: 12 years in the making. SO WORTH IT! ❤️❤️❤️ @atherenergy @swapniljain89
We have covered hundreds of startups on @bwmillionaires over the last 5 years. If I had to name one company that the audience has shown the most love for, it would be 'Ather'. No other company comes even close. This case study we did on Ather has 1.4k comments, and 99.9% of…
Here’s for the crazy ones! Back in 2013 starting @atherenergy was one of the most audacious decisions to take for us. It was based on a single belief that we can do fundamental engineering and product development in India. It was a common understanding back then that while…




Big, big day for us at Ather. Grateful for every twist and turn that got us here. Over the last 11 years, each milestone felt like the most critical moment ever because it truly was at the time. But today, we pause and realise: the road ahead is even bigger. An IPO isn’t just a…

Funny thing, this year most internship applications I am getting from IIT folks are about Product Management, Strategy, Finance and Founders office. Koi engineering bhi kar lo, bahut scope hai.
Putting comedy to some good use. Thank you @InvaluablesBLR for this really fun and important collaboration. Got old clothes? Don’t know what to do with them? Check this video out now! Please do share it! ❤️
