Bhavish Aggarwal’s “AI For India” Bet With Krutrim

Krutrim’s is proficient in understanding and processing up to 22 Indian languages with the ability to write and speak in 10 languages.

The company claims that the model accomplishes better performance on multiple well-known, global, LLM evaluation benchmarks. 

Krutrim targets full AI infrastructure development, including cloud, silicon chips, data centers, and computing systems.

Krutrim’s base LLM is trained on an impressive 2 trillion tokens, the largest Indian dataset used for training.

Ravi Jain, Ola Electric's strategy head, notes Krutrim's potential to simplify real-world interactions, like restaurant reservations and unique recipe searches.

Krutrim focuses on elevating startup customer support with real-time insights into behavior, prioritizing Indian languages, potentially aiding the rural economy often neglected by major tech solutions.

Krutrim's in-house chip development for AI has significant potential, offering hope for startups in GenAI, as current hardware costs are prohibitive for early-stage ventures.

But Can KRUTRIM catch up with OpenAI, Meta, and Google’s reach?
