Ola’s Bhavish Aggarwal Introduces Krutrim AI Chatbot for All Users
Ola founder and chairman Bhavish Aggarwal on Monday launched India’s artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot ‘Krutrim AI’ to take on OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini.
The AI chatbot is now in public beta. “As promised @Krutrim AI public beta starts today,” Aggarwal wrote on X. “This is the beginning for us and our first generation product. There is much more to come, and this will also improve significantly as we build on this foundation. Please give us your feedback,” he added.
He said the chatbot will assist users in more than 10 Indian languages, including English, Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, Marathi, Kannada, Gujarati and even Hinglish (a mix of Hindi and English).
“Krutrim marks the dawn of a new era for our nation’s AI computing stack. We strive to innovate alongside the world and define future paradigms,” said Aggarwal.
The launch comes after Krutrim became the country’s fastest unicorn and also the country’s first AI unicorn after closing its first round of funding.
The funding round, led by investors such as Matrix Partners India and others, raised $50 million in equity investment at a valuation of $1 billion.
