Ather is investing in service quality, efficiency and the customer experience through initiatives such as Gold Service Centres that feature modern customer lounges, advanced service equipment and streamlined processes to enhance transparency and reliability. The company also operates an ExpressCare initiative, a 60-minute periodic maintenance service offered at 82 centres to allow riders to complete routine maintenance quickly without compromising quality.
