Ather Energy has announced a major set of rider safety upgrades through its latest AtherStack 7.0 technology platform at the company’s annual Ather Community Day 2025 in Bengaluru. One of the most talked-about features is Pothole Alerts, which warns riders in real time about rough road patches or potholes and even suggests alternate routes. The feature uses fleet intelligence from thousands of Ather scooters across Indian roads, turning rider data into detailed road-condition maps. Early demos at the event received a strong positive response, with many riders calling it one of the most practical updates for India’s challenging road conditions. Ather has already mapped data for Bengaluru and Pune, with plans to expand coverage as more scooters share real-world data. #ather #potholes #alerts #emergencyAlerts #startupUpdates #startupro

How do you scale faster ? By controlling everything . Literally. In a category where cost inefficiency kills scale, Baaz is rewriting the playbook by building the most tightly integrated and automated EV ecosystem in India. While most EV fleet operators depend on third-party swaps, outsourced servicing, and fragmented hardware, we chose to build it all in-house — hardware, software, operations, and innovation all under one roof. Why? Because efficiency isn’t optional it’s the only way to win. Here’s how we’re leading the game of efficiency: 0 INR Swap Operator Cost Fully automated, operator-less swap stations mean zero recurring manpower costs and 24x7 availability. 1/3rd Mechanics per 1000 Vehicles Our scooters are purpose-built for commercial use with high uptime and low service requirements. 1/5th Repair Turnaround Time at 1/3rd the Cost End-to-end control over the supply chain means faster parts, faster fixes, and minimal downtime. >99.3% Swap Uptime Our proprietary Baaz Admin tech backend ensures reliability and visibility across the network. 20% Higher Fleet Utilisation Higher uptime = More deliveries per day = Happier delivery riders 2X Faster Innovation When the same team designs the vehicle, the battery tech, the software, and the operating model — innovation compounds at a faster pace. The result? 5X Margins vs. other fleet operators — the best unit economics in the entire EV fleet industry. Not just vehicles. Not just swaps. We’ve built an EV ecosystem that thinks like a logistics company, scales like a SaaS platform, and operates like a tech-first startup. This is what it takes to build the future of last-mile mobility in India. And we’re just getting started.
