A new type of indigenous intelligence is transforming India’s tech landscape—artificial intelligence through the ‘India’ lens. This phenomenon is a result of tech companies across the country eagerly embracing the ‘Build in Bharat’ initiative, marrying it with the power of AI. Of these innovations, Ola Krutrim, a Large Language Model and Generative AI platform, stands out.

Launched by one of India’s brightest entrepreneurs Bhavish Aggarwal, Ola Krutrim AI carries out a variety of tasks in both personal and professional spheres. So, what differentiates Ola Krutim from other AI assistants like Open AI’s ChatGPT or Google’s Bard? Krutrim (the Sanskrit word for artificial) aims to bridge the gap between the capabilities of global AI and the Indian ethos. The platform is trained on 2 trillion Indic language tokens. It can comprehend over 22 Indian languages and generate text in English, Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Marathi, Kannada, Gujarati, and even Hinglish. The platform also enables the creation of unique Generative AI products and services.

Krutrim had unveiled its AI models in December 2023, along with an AI chatbot. This year, it has exciting new product launches planned at Devsparks 2024.
