About us

Ather Energy was started in 2013 by Tarun Mehta and Swapnil Jain, two engineering graduates straight out of college with the audacity to dream and challenge the well-established Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) and replace it with an electric drive. We built India’s first smart and connected electric scooters, the Ather 450 product line, because we believe that's where the future of personal mobility is headed. Ather is one of the few companies in India, specifically within the automotive industry, to have products and services that amalgamate clean design and engineering - Hardware and software. Today, our product offerings include the Ather Rizta, Ather 450X, Ather 450S, Public and Private charging Infrastructure, Accessories and Merch, and innovative ownership plans. We are also building a complete ecosystem for India’s electric vehicles - powered by indigenous design and all locally manufactured.

    Last Friday, we opened the doors of our vehicle factory for a plant tour and a lively interaction for the members of the NHRD HOSUR CHAPTER  Their goal? To get a firsthand look at the operational dynamics of a young organisation like ours and witness the magic of engineering through the journey our electric scooters undergo from the initial design to the final product. They also joined a talk on employer branding by our very own Rohith Hariharan, sparking some pertinent questions and some insightful conversations. Thanks to the NHRD Hosur team for swinging by and taking a peek into our world. It was great sharing our story and learning together. #TAAS #WorkCulture #Innovation #Collaboration

    Our engineers needed a heightened sense of adventure, so they "tested" the Ather scooters atop Khardungla Pass in Leh - strictly for work, we swear! 😌

    Co-founder & CEO at Ather Energy

    When we started Ather Energy, we built with the philosophy - Build for us! The idea was to build something we ourselves will use. So, we made efforts to build an electric scooter that offered a great riding experience to the rider.  For years, we have been pushing our scooters to the limits, testing them on different terrains and under varying conditions. Our first family scooter, Rizta, is no exception to this. Recently, our team took the Rizta and the 450X on an epic adventure across Leh, reaching altitudes up to 18,000 ft and conquering the treacherous Khardungla Pass. The 450X has been on dirt tracks where customers have tested it out and had some fun. But riding through rugged terrains, steep climbs, and sharp turns to reach the peak just reiterated the capabilities of our scooters, ensuring our customers can take them anywhere they want confidently. Here are some pictures from the adventure, with more coming from different locations soon.

    At Ather, designing is about solving puzzles, piece by piece, until everything clicks. Whether it's a feature, form, or functionality, everything is interconnected. Last weekend, we hosted our first-ever fireside chat to delve into the core of Ather’s Design Philosophy. Led by Bikash Jyoti Biswas, Swagat Rath, Deepanjan Sinha, and moderated by Rohith Hariharan, the conversation was a deep dive into how we envision a seamless EV ecosystem, our customer-centric approach, and the design journey behind our products like the smart helmet Halo. Thank you to everyone who turned up, fired up the discussion with their thoughtful questions, and shared in our passion for design that makes not just a product but a difference. Here's to many more such interesting discussions ahead. The event was held as part of our Ather Vantage initiative - a platform created to connect, engage, and co-create with the brightest minds in design, engineering, and innovation.

    #InnovatorSpotlight - Meet Anshuman Tripathi, Ather's firmware prodigy! Have you ever persisted so much that after being turned away multiple times, you finally achieved your goal? This is the story of Anshuman Tripathi and his journey with Ather – a story filled with steadfast determination, personal growth, and groundbreaking ideas. Anshuman had his heart set on being a part of the Ather story since 2015 when we were moving out of Indian Institute of Technology, Madras Research Park. Despite initial rejections, he never lost sight of his True North, transforming each "no" into a stepping stone toward his goal. After four years of trying, his perseverance paid off. Starting as a junior Embedded Engineer, Anshuman quickly showcased his talent in firmware development, which led to him filing five patents and establishing himself as a key innovator on the team. One of his major contributions is to the Ather Motor Controller firmware—the heart of the scooter—that operates thanks to over 10,000 lines of code he meticulously contributed. Now, whenever he sees an Ather scooter zooming on the streets, he swells with pride, knowing well that each one carries a part of his hard work and ingenuity. Anshuman’s story is a powerful reminder that perseverance can lead to extraordinary achievements. Here's a shoutout to Anshuman Tripathi, a dedicated innovator who teaches us to persist, innovate, and ride forward, no matter the odds. #BeTheStory #PeopleOfAther #InnovatorSpotlight #IntellectualProperty Learn more about Anshuman's journey at Ather ⬇️.

    At Ather one of our “True North” has been to create a long-term impact in the energy ecosystem through our products. This is why, beyond creating a great electric scooter, we have also invested in solving the problem of a growing need for charging infrastructure. Charging needs to become easy if India has to achieve her EV ambitions. In order to achieve this, the teams at Ather have come up with what we call the “Ather Neighbourhood Charger” - a solution that lets you charge your Electric Vehicle in your neighbourhood, whether that’s a university, a tech park, or an office campus, because we know having access to convenient charging is essential for larger EV adoption. With our range of Neighbourhood chargers catering to both scooters and cars,  we aim to improve India’s EV mix. That’s how our teams work on our “True North”—helping the shift to electric be more seamless and convenient, one charging station at a time. Want to know how your organisation can join us and be part of this story? Check out the link in the comments below.

    When it comes to protecting the environment, everyone has a role to play. Quite often, it is the little big things that really make a difference. As part of our efforts to observe World Environment Day, some of our team members joined forces with children from nearby schools to create 350 paper bags and distribute them to shops and establishments in the area. This project wasn't just about reducing the use of plastic bags; it was about bringing the community together, teaching and learning from the younger generation about the importance of taking care of our planet. We saw firsthand how eager these kids were to make a change, to be part of something meaningful. By connecting with the local shops, we not only helped reduce plastic usage but also sparked conversations about sustainability. These moments of unity and action show us the true impact of collective efforts. Together, we're writing a story of change, one paper bag at a time. #BeTheStory #WorldEnvironmentDay #Sustainability #PeopleOfAther
