Wild Warrior Race presents ‘Himalayan Adventure Challenge 2020’ - India’s Premier Adventure Race from 11th to 13th December

 Wild Warrior Himalayan Adventure Race is in its 7th edition and is one of the most gruelling and challenging races in India. The 2020 edition will be held between 11th and 13th December 2020 with race day on the 12th of December. The race involves mountain biking, hiking and rafting sections all performed back to back in a single day with race distances ranging from a 10km race for novices to a difficult 65km race for hardened adventurers.

The race is a team-based race with teams of 4-6 adventurers and has 3 categories as follows:

 

1.   65km Zealot – 30km mountain biking + 21km hiking + 14km rafting

2.   30km Open – 16km hiking + 14km rafting

3.   10km Intro – 5km rafting + 5km hiking

Keeping everybody’s safety in mind, the race will be capped at 200 participants and will be completely outdoors and spread over 65km of Himalayan Terrain. There will be staggered starts for teams to ensure no crowding at the start line and all the accommodation is in cottages and tents which are distant from each other. 

The race will be hosted at the Atali Ganga resort in Rishikesh on the banks of the Ganges in the state of Uttarakhand and will welcome participants from around the country. Aquaterra Adventures, a pioneer in the outdoor adventure space for the last 25 years is the primary event partner.

Actor and avid athlete Regina Cassandra will also be participating in the 30km Challenge along with professional surfers and stand-up paddlers Kutti Rajsekar, Sekar and Anand. She will aim to win the 30km challenge on the eve of her 30th birthday and raise funds to support at least 30 children. She has previously completed the Wild Warrior obstacle race in Bengaluru and was winner of the Wild Warrior Duathlon in 2018 with the fastest time for a female athlete in the 2.5km Run + 20km Bike + 5km Run event. 

Regina Cassandra will be racing in this event to raise awareness and funds for charities that she works closely with; particularly charities that help improve the lives of children from low socio-economic backgrounds. Her fundraising campaign will be launched on November 7, 2020. 

Adventure Races and Marathons have traditionally been a very effective way of raising money for important causes as they have the ability to spread a message consistently and in a sustained manner.

People who cannot attend the Himalayan Adventure Challenge can show solidarity with the “30 for 30” movement by participating remotely and logging 30km of distance in any form, either by cycling or running/walking. For eg. 25km cycle + 5km run.

Som’s Sleep Chronicles

A sleeping Som is entertaining. And Balaji has a funny story to share at the breakfast table about what Som actually murmured in his sleep. He tells everyone  how Som took his eye mask off and told people, "I'll join you guys tomorrow".   Som then explains that he was talking to Samyukhta about clubbing the other day before going to sleep. The housemates have a  hearty laugh.

Jail time for Aari Aajeedh

While Aajeedh and Aari are in jail, Anitha plays jester for them and entertains them by talking to a pillow like it's a child. The pillow is apparently mad at her for meeting it late so she says sorry and explains how her hairdo took time and that she will take the pillow out for popcorn, etc. 

It’s raining drama in the house

Amid ongoing drama in the house, it starts pouring and the contestants run outside with an umbrella. All of the are seen singing and dancing to Alaipayuthey songs (Tamil version of Saathiya).  Aajeedh, Aari and Anitha find their own sync and groove together.  Cat all the fun in this video.

Ather Energy introduces a Buyback Program on the Ather 450X

                    Assured buyback of INR 85,000* for the Ather 450X at the end of 3 years

          Also improves purchase-enabling & ownership solutions for the Ather 450X

         Price of the Ather 450 Plus slashed

Ather Energy is introducing a first-of-its-kind program in the EV category in India, an ‘Assured Buyback’ program for the Ather 450X. Ather Energy is guaranteeing a buyback for the Ather 450X at INR 85,000*, at the end of 3 years.

One of India’s few “Make in India” EV manufacturers, Ather Energy has built its own li-ion battery packs and an overall robust platform in the Ather 450 product line. The reliability of the product line has been tested since 2018 in Bengaluru & later in Chennai, and on seeing the high consistency in performance, Ather Energy has launched a unique buyback plan. The high reliability of the product will ensure that the scooters will command a strong value in the resale market, as witnessed by existing owners of Ather 450.

The buyback program is another bold move from Ather Energy, in it's endeavor to accelerate EV adoption in the country. With initiatives like Ather Grid, EV focussed experience centres and a highly engaged owner Forum, Ather Energy has gone much beyond building just scooters.

Aside from the new buyback program, Ather Energy has also improved some of the purchase enabling solutions for the launch of Ather 450X. Post the success of the lease model in Bengaluru and Chennai, Ather Energy will be extending the same for the Ather 450X across all cities. The model allows the customers to access a fully loaded Ather 450X at a lower price point & a nominal monthly fee. In the current economic context, this might be significant for a segment of customers who are unwilling to opt for a full purchase. 

To reduce the overall cost of ownership of the Ather 450X, Bengaluru consumers can exchange their old petrol ICE 2-wheeler and others can opt for low interest rate loans from multiple partners that Ather Energy has tie-ups with. Ather Energy has also reduced the ex-showroom price of the Ather 450 Plus model, which can now be purchased at INR 139,990.

Ather’s subscription plans have also been revised and made more flexible in order to match the usage of the consumer. The plans now offer 4 independent packs that the customer can choose from based on their usage, now starting at INR 125 per month. These include Ather Connect Lite (for all basic connected features), Ather Connect Pro, Ather Service Lite (periodic maintenance, RSA & labour) and Ather Service Pro (premium service experience). Meanwhile, charging at public charging points, Ather Grid, will be free until March 2021.

Quote by Tarun Mehta, Co-founder & CEO, Ather Energy: "Our faith in our product line has allowed us to create innovative solutions to make the switch to electric, easier - whether it is purchase or ownership. We believe Ather Energy's electric scooters are going to have a fantastic value for years and will keep improving with new features which we will roll out as over the air upgrades. And to strengthen that assurance we are announcing a resale guarantee
