​Tarun Mehta is the co-founder and CEO of Ather Energy — the company behind India’s first truly smart electric scooter. What began as a battery R&D project at IIT Madras has grown into one of the country’s most ambitious EV companies, with a deep focus on in-house product design, localized manufacturing, and charging infrastructure.

​From the early days of building hardware in a hostel room to scaling nationwide with the Ather 450X and launching one of India’s largest two-wheeler charging networks, Tarun’s journey is a masterclass in first-principles thinking, long-term execution, and building for category creation.

​In this -1 to Now session at South Park Commons, Tarun will walk us through the big product bets, infrastructure plays, and cultural decisions that have powered Ather’s growth — and what it takes to build a hardware company in India.

​Registration and approval are required, and space is limited — please RSVP soon!
