This Ather helmet can talk to your scooter #startup #automobile #blumepodcast

“The real opportunity isn’t to be the new old thing — it’s to unlock experiences impossible on ICE.”

As Tarun Mehta explains, EVs aren’t just cleaner or quieter — they open doors to entirely new behaviours.
Ather is already pushing that frontier.

Imagine a helmet that can:
🎧 Hear your voice and start navigation
🌧️ Detect rain and auto-enable rain traction control
🔧 Talk to your scooter and change riding modes automatically

Or features like:
🧭 Cruise control
⛰️ Hill-hold
🛑 A brakeless, auto-slowdown experience
📱 A beautiful, intelligent touchscreen dashboard

These aren’t gimmicks — they’re a new design language that only electric powertrains allow.

Tarun’s belief is simple:
EV companies must become patron saints of new experiences — not replicas of the ICE world.

In this episode of The Blume Podcast, Tarun Mehta sits down with Karthik Reddy to explore the future of riding, software-first engineering, and the magic unlocked when you build natively for electric.
