Ola Krutrim, India’s first AI unicorn, has launched Krutrim AI Cloud, its own cloud platform for enterprises, researchers, and developers. Additionally, the company has introduced a standalone Android app for its AI assistant, now available on the Google Play Store.
Krutrim Cloud provides access to state-of-the-art AI computing infrastructure, Krutrim’s foundational models, and other open-source models such as Meta’s Llama 3 and Mistral. This platform will enable developers to run and build LLMs at a fraction of the costs currently offered by other cloud service providers.
With this development, Ola Krutrim will compete with Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Amazon Web Services. These platforms have all experienced robust revenue growth in recent quarters, driven by increasing demand from businesses and enterprises of varying sizes.
The company has also announced Model-as-a-Service (MaaS) and GPU-as-a-Service offerings, allowing access to its foundational models and AI compute infrastructure. Additionally, Krutrim has launched multiple APIs and SDKs for location services, including Places API, Tiles API, and Routing APIs.
“We are committed to developing full-stack AI capabilities in India, for the world,” said Bhavish Aggarwal, Founder of Krutrim. “We believe that India needs its own technology platforms to enable the emergence of world-class products at a fraction of current costs.”
The Krutrim assistant app, built on the company’s own LLM (trained on over 2 trillion tokens with the largest representation of Indic data), will simplify the use of AI for everyone. The app currently understands and generates intelligent responses in 10+ Indian languages and will be expanded to 22 official languages in the near future.
In the future, the Krutrim app will enable users to give voice commands, integrating text, voice, and visual data for enhanced functionality. The Krutim assistant easily collaborates with other apps, facilitating tasks like cab bookings, setting reminders, and messaging without the need to switch between applications.
Krutrim’s vision is to create a comprehensive, reliable, and scalable Maps Platform that addresses local needs and supports broader initiatives for technological and economic advancement in India.
The company is also working on developing MapGPT to enable natural conversations powered by location-aware Krutrim AI intelligent assistants. The app will offer an immersive experience of location hotspots and integrate community-based features for real-time updates on traffic and road conditions.
Launched in December last year, Krutrim is touted as “India’s first full-stack AI” solution. It is trained on 2 trillion tokens and can understand over 20 Indian languages and generate content in about 10 languages, including Marathi, Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, Odia, Gujarati, and Malayalam.
