Ather Energy, a smart electric scooter start-up, has appointed Deepak Jain as the chief financial officer. In 2010, Jain joined Apple India as the CFO and led the finance team during a period of rapid growth for five years.
Ather Energy was founded by IIT Madras alumni, Tarun Mehta and Swapnil Jain in 2013.
In a media statement, Tarun Mehta, co-founder and CEO at Ather Energy, said, “In his prior roles, Deepak has scaled up technology and product-led companies making him an ideal addition to Ather’s team. For a rapidly expanding company like Ather, an important focus area is laying the structure for effective processes. “We are scaling up to meet the demand for the Ather 450 across the country and this requires robust systems and operations. Deepak’s (Jain) experience in leading teams and integrating manufacturing and business processes will play a key role in the next part of our story.”
In a statement, Jain, said, “Working with Ather is a rare opportunity to work on cutting edge technology and building products that are setting the bar in the two-wheeler category. I look forward to working with the team as we enter new markets and increase our footprint across India.”
