Ather Energy’s co-founder and CEO, Tarun Mehta, believes that being a public company is less stressful than running a private one. Speaking at Ather Community Day with Moneycontrol, Mehta said that life after the company’s July 2025 IPO has not brought extra pressure. Instead, it has created more discipline and transparency in the way the company operates.
Mehta explained that quarterly reporting helps keep communication clear. “You only have to manage expectations once every quarter. It gives you a chance to set the record straight regularly,” he said. This regular engagement with shareholders and the public, according to him, has made the process smoother rather than overwhelming.
Ather Energy, which recently became the second-largest electric two-wheeler company in India, is focusing on expanding operations and staying true to its mission. Its public listing came soon after Ola Electric’s landmark IPO in 2024, signalling strong investor interest in India’s growing EV sector. Industry experts believe that Ather’s smooth transition to a public company shows how market transparency can help startups scale faster and attract long-term investment.
