Why Pay More for an EV When You Can Choose Smarter

E-Went is challenging the idea that a better electric scooter has to come with a bigger price tag. Let’s be honest. The EV market has become very good at selling the future. Big Technology. Big Claims. Big Performance numbers. Bigger Price Tags.

But there’s one question most riders still ask before they buy:

“Will this actually make my life better?” That is where E-Went takes a rather different view.

Its philosophy is simple: Smartness isn’t about spending more or less. It’s about choosing better.

And two segments of scooters make that argument particularly well. In popular segment Rabbitor and in Power segment Foxy.

One is built for everyday India. The other is built for riders who want more.

THE RABBITOR: FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO THAN WORRY ABOUT THEIR SCOOTER

Not everyone wants their scooter to be a conversation starter. Sometimes, you just want it to start every morning. You want enough range for your commute. Enough comfort for the family. Enough practicality for everyday errands. And running costs that don’t make you miss petrol. That is the thinking behind the Rabbitor, E-Went’s Popular-range scooter.

Starting at ₹79,350 ex-showroom, it offers up to 140 km IDC range, 4–5 hour charging and an IP67-rated motor and controller designed to handle the dust, water and everyday conditions that Indian scooters actually face.

No unnecessary drama. No paying extra to look futuristic. Just a scooter designed to do its job.

Every day something you can depend on without having to think about it.

THEN THERE’S THE FOXY. WHAT IF “MORE” DIDN’T HAVE TO MEAN “MORE EXPENSIVE”? 

This is where the conventional EV formula starts to get uncomfortable. More power usually means more money. More capability usually means a bigger price tag. More features? You guessed it. Foxy doesn’t quite follow the script.

Starting at ₹97,650, the E-Went Foxy delivers up to 60 km/h, up to 170 km IDC range and 0–40 km/h in around 4 seconds.

Then comes the practical stuff that matters when the brochure is forgotten: 272 kg loading capacity.
36-litre boot space.
Rugged steel tubular chassis.
Triple-lens projector headlamps. And big seat for the Indian middle class commuters.

It is designed for potholes, monsoons, stop-start traffic, heavy loads and the everyday unpredictability of Indian roads. In other words for the Real India.

What if buying an EV didn’t mean choosing between affordable and capable? What if you could choose according to your needs instead?

Choose Rabbitor, and the thought is: “I got everything I actually need.”

Choose Foxy, and the thought becomes: “I got more without paying just for a badge.”

Different riders. Different priorities. Same outcome:

“I made the smarter choice.”

THE NUMBERS MAKE THE ARGUMENT HARDER TO IGNORE.

E-Went isn’t building this proposition on marketing alone. There are already 20,000+ vehicles on Indian roads, backed by a warranty claim rate below 1.5%.

The company has built a network of 250+ dealer partners across seven states—West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Assam.

And every vehicle is tested and certified by ICAT and CIRT under full ISO compliance.

That matters because an EV isn’t just a purchase. And E-Went’s ambition is to make that relationship dependable—from the first test ride to years of ownership.

E-Went is building across Retail, Commercial and Enterprise, bringing products and services discipline to individual riders, rental operators and businesses deploying EVs at scale.

It’s about changing the way people think about value in electric mobility. Not cheapest. Not most expensive. Not most futuristic. Smartest for the person buying it.

MAYBE THE REAL EV UPGRADE ISN’T MORE TECHNOLOGY.

Maybe it’s simply making a better decision. A scooter that costs less to run. A vehicle built for Indian conditions. A product that gives you the features you actually need. A service network that doesn’t disappear after delivery. And a price that doesn’t make “smart choice” feel like a luxury. That is the switch E-Went wants riders to make.

Because the smartest EV isn’t necessarily the one with the biggest claim. It’s the one that makes the most sense when you take it home.

E-WENT – SMARTNESS KA SWITCH ON.

Wordly Reports 668% Three-Year Growthas AI Translation Reshapes Live Events

EventTech leader climbs to 52nd fastest-growing software company on Inc. 5000 after powering 1 billion minutes of live keynotes, breakouts, and post-event dubbing

LOS ALTOS, CA – Aug 20 – Wordly, the pioneer and leader in live AI translation and captions, announced it ranked No. 521 on the 2026 Inc. 5000, climbing 1,186 places from No. 1,707 a year ago. Among software companies, Wordly rose from No. 196 to No. 52, a 144-place jump, as demand grows for AI-powered multilingual communication across conferences, meetings, keynotes, breakouts, and other live experiences.

For the events industry, the growth reflects a broader shift in how organizers approach language access. What was once typically reserved for large international conferences and high-profile keynote sessions is increasingly being used across the full event lifecycle, from live sessions and audience engagement to post-event content localization.

Accelerated adoption of live AI translation and captions has pushed Wordly past the 1-billion-minute and 6-million-user milestones, fueling a 668% three-year growth. Along the way, the platform has saved customers more than $200 million versus traditional human interpretation.

Data Shows Event Planners See AI Outperforming Traditional Human Interpretation

The milestone coincides with shifting enterprise benchmarks. According to the 2026 State of AI Translation & Captions Report, 66% of enterprise event planners now report that live AI translation exceeds the quality of human interpreters, while cutting costs and eliminating logistics bottlenecks

“Moving up to No. 52 validates a fundamental market shift,” said Lakshman Rathnam, Founder & CEO of Wordly. “Real-time multilingual content is no longer just something large industry conferences add when they need it. We’re seeing businesses, universities, and public agencies use it across meetings, town halls, training, and live events because multilingual communication has become part of their everyday operations.”

Expanded Platform: From Live Sessions to Post-Event Content

Wordly expanded its platform over the past year to support more of the event lifecycle, including:

• Workplace Integrations: Added Workspaces and deeper Microsoft Teams support to bring multilingual meetings and hybrid experiences that extend beyond the conference floor.

• Live & Post-Event Localization: Launched real-time AI Subtitles for main-stage keynotes alongside Voice Transcripts to help organizers repurpose recorded event content for multilingual audiences after an event ends.

• Mobile App Updates: Released automatic language detection and a revamped mobile app to streamline live in-person translation for company-wide gatherings, campus events, and city council meetings.

The expansion reflects a broader move toward using AI translation not as a single event service, but as an always-on communication layer that can support audiences before, during, and after an event.

Aadhaar App Crosses 5 Crore Downloads as Digital Identity Services Gain Momentum

New Delhi, August 20: The Aadhaar App has crossed the milestone of 5 crore downloads, underlining the growing preference among residents for accessing digital identity services through their smartphones.

Developed by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), the app is increasingly serving as a digital interface for Aadhaar holders, offering services such as mobile number, address and email updates, biometric lock and unlock, and e-Aadhaar downloads. More than 60 lakh residents have already updated their mobile numbers through the app, while over 15 lakh have updated their addresses and more than 23 lakh have updated their email details.

The growing use of these facilities reflects a shift towards digital-first Aadhaar services, allowing residents to complete several identity-related processes without visiting an Aadhaar centre. The app follows a “Show, Share and Verify” approach, aimed at giving Aadhaar holders greater control over the use and sharing of their identity information.

Alongside the app’s growing adoption, UIDAI is also expanding its offline verification ecosystem. More than 200 entities have been onboarded as Offline Verification Seeking Entities (OVSEs) since the initiative was rolled out in January. The framework enables organisations to conduct secure, consent-based and paperless Aadhaar verification without requiring real-time access to UIDAI’s central database.

Through mechanisms such as QR code-based verification and secure digitally signed documents, OVSEs can verify identity information while limiting data sharing to what is necessary. The approach is intended to strengthen privacy, user consent and convenience in Aadhaar-based verification.

The expansion of the Aadhaar App and offline verification network is part of the government’s broader Digital India agenda, with a focus on making public digital services more accessible, secure and resident-centric.

Harness Introduces AI Agents for Machine-Speed Vulnerability Response

India, Aug 20: Harness, the AI Software Delivery Platform company, today announced a set of security capabilities – AI SAST, agentic triage and remediation, a dedicated Zero-Day Agent, and virtual patching – that let security teams scan, prioritize, and ship a fix without waiting on a slower, disconnected process.

Frontier AI models are now on both sides of the equation. Attackers are using them to find and chain vulnerabilities faster than ever, going from disclosure to first exploit in as little as six hours, while the average vulnerability still takes over 50 days to fix. Defenders are gaining the same advantage, but unevenly: Project Glasswing partners have surfaced roughly 10 times more vulnerabilities using LLM-based scanning, a wave of visibility that turns into a bigger backlog without a faster way to act.

This is the new baseline, and every enterprise needs to be ready. This means having the ability to scan, triage, and ship a fix at the same machine speed those models now run, rather than relying on a security process built for a slower era.

“We’re at a point where the same AI models helping our customers ship software faster are also what attackers are using to find and exploit vulnerabilities faster,” said Rahul Sood, General Manager of Application Security at Harness. “The only way to close that gap is to make security a first-class part of the delivery pipeline itself, so scanning, prioritization, remediation, and deployment all move together instead of getting stuck in handoffs between disconnected systems. That’s the shift we built these agents around, and it’s the same shift every enterprise is going to have to make to stay ahead.”

Launching Agents Across the Vulnerability Lifecycle

These agents cover every stage a vulnerability moves through, from the moment it’s found to the moment it’s shielded in production, so no single slow step holds up the rest of the chain. Here’s what’s shipping:

• AI SAST: A deterministic scanning engine paired with an AI layer that filters out noise, cutting false positives dramatically while catching complex issues like IDOR that traditional tools miss entirely.
• LLM Scan Orchestration: Teams that run their own LLM scanners can now do it natively inside their pipeline, with results feeding directly into the same triage and remediation workflow as everything else.
• Triage Agent: Automatically triages the flood of scanner findings, prioritizing what’s actually exploitable, so teams can focus their time on real risk.
• Remediation Agent: Writes and validates a fix for a prioritized finding and opens a pull request for a developer to review and approve.
• Zero-Day Agent: Monitors for newly disclosed zero-days around the clock, instantly identifies every affected pipeline and artifact across a customer’s environment, and generates a validated fix ready for review, often within minutes of a threat going public.
• Virtual Patching: Deploys a protective patch the moment a vulnerability is discovered during testing, no code changes required, shielding production immediately while the real fix is finished behind the scenes.

“For customers, this means the distance between ‘we found something’ and ‘it’s fixed and deployed’ shrinks from weeks to hours, without adding headcount or a new tool to manage,” Sood added. “Every agent in this launch is built on the same reachability data, so teams aren’t just moving faster, they’re spending that speed on the vulnerabilities that actually matter instead of chasing noise.”

Extending Harness‘s AI Security Momentum

Harness has invested heavily in AI-driven security since its merger with Traceable in early 2025. Today’s announcement continues that trajectory, following the July 21, 2026 launch of Agent DLC, which brought governance and chain of custody to AI coding agents across the software delivery lifecycle. It also follows new integrations with Kong and Google that extend Harness‘s security and governance capabilities across a wider range of infrastructure and platform partners.

As AI reshapes both software delivery and the threats against it, security has to be built into the platform itself. Harness plans to continue extending this work as the AI models on both sides keep getting more capable.

Agentic AI Moves From Experiment to Enterprise Priority as Businesses Seek Real-World Impact

New Delhi, Aug 19: Agentic AI is emerging as the next major phase of enterprise artificial intelligence, with businesses increasingly looking beyond AI-generated content towards systems that can plan, decide and carry out tasks with limited human intervention.

According to the latest findings cited in the report, nearly 99 per cent of companies are planning to adopt agentic AI, while only around 9–14 per cent have so far deployed such systems in production. The gap highlights both the strong interest in the technology and the challenges businesses face in turning AI experiments into reliable, everyday solutions.

Agentic AI differs from traditional AI applications because it can work through a series of steps to achieve a defined objective. Depending on how it is designed, an AI agent can analyse information, use software tools, make decisions within set boundaries and take action, while keeping humans involved where necessary.

For businesses, the potential is significant. AI agents could help automate repetitive processes, support customer service, streamline finance and administration, assist software development and improve supply-chain operations. By taking care of routine tasks, they could allow employees to spend more time on activities requiring creativity, judgement and human interaction.

At the same time, moving agentic AI into production requires careful preparation. Businesses need dependable data, secure technology infrastructure, clearly defined workflows and appropriate controls to ensure that AI systems operate within approved limits.

The technology also brings a new level of responsibility. Since AI agents can potentially take actions rather than simply provide information, companies need effective monitoring, human oversight and clear accountability when deploying them in sensitive business processes.

The growing gap between planned adoption and production deployment therefore offers an important lesson for the corporate sector: AI success cannot be measured simply by the number of pilots launched. Its real value will depend on whether it can solve business problems and deliver measurable improvements.

As enterprises gain more experience with autonomous systems, the focus is expected to shift towards practical outcomes such as higher productivity, lower operating costs, faster decision-making and better customer experiences.

Agentic AI could ultimately reshape the workplace by changing how people interact with technology. Rather than using AI only as a digital assistant, employees may increasingly work alongside intelligent systems capable of managing entire workflows under human supervision.

The emerging opportunity is clear, but so is the responsibility. For businesses, the next chapter of AI adoption will be about combining technological ambition with human judgement, strong governance and measurable business value.
