Co-founder & CEO @AtherEnergy Life's good!
Totally agree 💯 As an industry we should be helping govt identify a few sharp areas to guide investments behind. Not disperse and waste away our limited resources behind a hundred different things, ensuring in the process that nothing new works. Individual companies should…
Thank you Tejasvi! Couldn't have imagined this when we started in college but the transformation of the hardware and manufacturing space, and especially the confidence in students to work on deep tech has been mind boggling. Hardly a week goes without meeting a deep tech/HW…
Congratulations, @tarunsmehta. Ather’s story from college campus to IPO is truly inspiring - a role model for all stakeholders to follow. Hoping for more such ideas to IPO journeys to come in the next few years.
We only move forward as a species when we can access and use more energy. Every other metric is pointless.
Electricity generation is the best proxy of development/growth India at ~1,949 TWh = ~China of 2005
Ather Community Day is back. We have always believed good technology should feel like magic. Not the flashy kind, but the kind you live with every day. The kind that works so well, you barely notice it. That’s the focus for this year’s Community Day: technology that works like…
#AtherCommunityDay25 is here! Mark your calendars.
IITM now is incubating startups at an industrial scale! And the majority of them are hardware/deep tech startups! Back when @swapniljain89 and I incubated @atherenergy in campus there were barely a dozen startups. Ecosystem has come a long way since then! Ather was the first…
Could not have better described 'what's happening!' right now at @atherenergy
Ather Energy India Plans !! 👉 Expansion to over 750 stores by year-end from around 350 👉 Ather energy plans to enter new cities – especially North 👉 A new “EL” platform & concept to be showcased at community event in August. 👉 Next-generation fast chargers 👉 Ather…
Had the privilege of meeting Hon’ble Shri @nitin_gadkari ji and Hon’ble Shri @PiyushGoyal ji. Always inspiring to hear their vision for India’s mobility future. We had the opportunity to discuss what it will take to make EVs mainstream in India and shared how we’re approaching…
Inclusive PLI: Absolutely agree, @Tejasvi_Surya. If India wants to lead in hardware and deep tech, PLI schemes need to back the next generation of builders. We need early stage startups to feel confident investing in R&D, building for global markets, and taking bold bets from…
Attended the Parliamentary Consultative Committee on Finance chaired by Hon’ble FM Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman Ji. Chief Economic Advisor Shri Anantha Nageswaran presented India’s strong macroeconomic fundamentals amidst global uncertainty. I made the following key suggestions:…
What's up with iphones and calls going to voice mails? Apparently it's a bug that many people have been stuck with for a while?
I see that the competition has found my apartment 😂 Rest assured, Bengaluru ♥️ Ather 😎
Still coming to terms with the new work flow where every announcement is cced to the stock markets first 😀
We launched Rizta, our first family scooter, during Community Day last year. The idea was simple - build something that actually works for Indian families. Big seat, big boot, super comfortable ride. Add in safety and the right tech.Nothing flashy. Just useful where it really…
Was great meeting you @Tejasvi! India today leads the world with technology and product quality in electric scooters and bikes. And Bengaluru is the EV capital, in the midst of that tech boom! We have an amazing opportunity to convert this into an enduring lead for our industry…
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…
Very excited to join Karthik and Dhanushya at @Neuro_stellar along with @swapniljain89 as angel investors. Indian startups ✅ Working on mental fitness✅ With indigenous tech✅ And THAT TOO with their own hardware✅ - we had to back this. Had an opportunity to try their…
Thrilled to welcome @swapniljain89 and @tarunsmehta, Co-founders of Ather Energy, as angel investors in Neurostellar. We are excited to architect a future where mental fitness is honed with scientific precision. #wearables #Startups #investments #deeptech #neurotech @iitmadras
Turkey has been openingly supporting #pakistan sponsored #terrorism it’s high time we boycott Turkish products. Economic war is better than armed war!! Boycott @TurkishAirlines #IndiaPakistanWar
Unbelievable that IMF extended a loan to Pakistan with its support of terrorism so explicitly visible. Crazy!
I hope the IMF which gave a $ 1 billion loan to Pakistan last night realises that it has BLOOD ON ITS HANDS. India abstained, but shouldn’t many others who speak of ‘zero tolerance to terror’ have joined us ?
This one’s personal. Campuses like IIT Madras are sitting on gold, a lot of talent with real deep-tech potential. The way IITM has built its incubation model, with patient capital, room to experiment, and strong mentorship, is exactly what the country needs more of. Ather…
As reported in @YourStoryCo , @iitmadras -incubated @atherenergy made a stellar debut on Dalal Street, listing at ₹328 per share — a 2.2% premium — despite challenging market conditions. IIT Madras achieved an impressive 40x return through @IITMIC and RTBI, having nurtured…
This sound: 12 years in the making. SO WORTH IT! ❤️❤️❤️ @atherenergy @swapniljain89
Thanks, @bhash! The Indian EV story is just getting started, and the two-wheeler segment is already leading the charge. Excited about what we can build together in this space! 🚀
Congrats to @tarunsmehta and the whole @atherenergy team on this milestone for the Indian EV industry! Let’s together make India the global EV hub ❤️
