- Issue-price valuation relative to revenue growth, gross margin trajectory and losses
- Listing-day performance and post-listing trading volumes
- Management commentary on cash burn, capacity utilization, market-share targets and profitability timeline
- Underwriters and management are likely to intensify institutional outreach and emphasize Ather's brand, charging network, product pipeline and path toward improved unit economics.
- Investors will compare the final valuation and subscription mix with listed two-wheeler incumbents and other EV-focused companies.
