It has been informed by the brand that the Experience Centre is kickstarted in collaboration with Evolution Auto Pvt. Ltd., a joint venture between Sensei Capital Partners, Atman Group, and Sino Lanka Private Limited.

As Ather’s national distributor in Sri Lanka, Evolution Auto will not only manage sales, service operations, and network expansion but will also be establishing Ather grid fast-charging stations across the country. This approach aims to facilitate EV adoption and ensure a seamless experience for international customers.
