About A-Thon

Founded in 2022 by Aditya Hegade, Sandeep Ramakrishnappa and Harshit Modi under the corporate banner A-THON Allterrain Pvt Ltd, the company is driven by a mission to push beyond paved roads and provide reliable, rugged mobility to sectors where conventional transport is inadequate.

From defence and disaster relief to agriculture, forestry, and adventure platforms, A-Thon’s vehicles are engineered for adaptability under extreme conditions, such as high slope angles, mixed terrain, deep mud, and snow-covered routes, which are all part of the testing ground for these machines.

The brand’s official story outlines a philosophy anchored in durability and innovation, with a focus on delivering vehicles that can withstand hostile environments and execute mission-critical tasks without compromise.

Media coverage of its flagship models, notably the ASHVA series, reflects industry excitement about India’s emerging all-terrain technology.

Reports highlight a homegrown 4×4 utility vehicle designed for both work and adventure, with variants engineered for agricultural attachments, autonomous features, and extreme off-road performance.

A-Thon’s approach blends utility with high-performance engineering, reframing off-road vehicles not just as tools, but as solutions built for extremes.

Whether serving rural communities, supporting expedition teams, or enabling defence logistics in rugged zones, A-Thon Allterrain stands at the intersection of innovation and grit, redefining what it means to be all-terrain.
