But will we get the same experience from the dealers? Cause the EV market in Mumbai is not picking up precisely because of lack of enthusiasm shown by dealers. I have not found any dealer in Mumbai which is selling Hero Electric Scooters. Mumbai has a huge market potential. Contrary to popular perception the 2 wheeler usage in Mumbai has increased because of ease of use and accessibility. So I will urge you to take Mumbai more seriously that smaller cities.
Andheri East or MIDC area is one good location which can be easily reached from Eastern and Western suburbs and lot of Car Servicing Centres are already located here.

@everyone Excited about the Ather 450X? Makes sense. There’s still a few more weeks to unveil the Ather 450X. Till then, here’s another pointless teaser.
Just remember, there was a Singapore startup called “Rotimatic”, they launched a fantastic Indian Flat Bread (Roti) making machines, it was a great appliance, though not very quick, but good enough for small family or couples.
They just went on pre-booking, just like Ather, they had a big stack of orders to be fulfilled, investors also queued up, and startup was off with a big bang.
Then came a big constraint, production bottlenecks, pending orders frustrated customers, and then customers started turning away after reading reviews. Obviously, the Indian Roti eaters could not have it when they wanted it, when the really had it, those heavy noise making monsters couldn’t keep up with customer expectations.
Technology is like an F1 car, ride it only if you can take it past 325 on a straight and corner at 150, getting gravitational shocks, do not try touching it, if you are faint hearted.
The innovation is great, and can get you many more happy customers, but again, those customers can’t be kept waiting for long, the same waiting customers could ruin brand reputation.
I remember rotimatic alright! Had shown interest in buying too, then again the waiting went on and the interest was lost and the money spent! On different products and alternate solutions… A lesson to be learnt indeed, both for the startup and the customers.
