In a groundbreaking move that is set to transform the landscape of two-wheeler ownership in India, OTO, a leading digital commerce platform specializing in two-wheeler financing, has announced a strategic digital business partnership with Ather Energy, the country’s premier electric scooter manufacturer. This collaboration aims to make Ather’s electric vehicles more accessible and convenient, especially for the younger and GenZ demographic across India.
