‘will do better than microsoft, google…’ made-in-india’ ola’s bhavish aggarwal takes on global giants

With the release of Krutrim Cloud, an AI platform, Indian ride-hailing behemoth Ola is attempting to get into the AI market. With its open ecosystem and affordable pricing, Krutrim Cloud aims to disrupt the market by meeting the demands of Indian developers in particular.

Bhavish Aggarwal, the founder of Ola, stated at a recent event that Krutrim Cloud will not only compete with major players in the global tech industry like Google and Microsoft, but will also outperform them in terms of energy-efficient data center construction and the most reasonably priced cloud services for AI research.

Aggarwal drew attention to the exorbitant expenses of cloud services that developers, especially those in India, are currently facing. The goal of Krutrim Cloud is to close this gap by providing an affordable option.

According to the Times of India, Aggarwal said, “We are building our own technology to do energy management to make the most efficient data centres in the world. I am willing to compete with Microsoft, Google or whoever to say, we will do better than them. The cloud cost we pay is the same as the amount paid by American developers. How is it justified? We will resolve that.”

Another notable aspect of Krutrim Cloud is its dedication to transparency. Aggarwal attacked well-known digital companies for having “closed ecosystems” that limit developers, citing examples being Apple, Google, and Amazon. Conversely, the goal of Krutrim is to become a full-stack AI platform that enables developers to build apps more quickly and simply.

This accessibility emphasis also applies to language. Ola asserts that a sizable dataset with a robust representation of Indic languages forms the foundation of Krutrim Cloud’s AI helper. With aspirations to increase its ability to cover all 22 official languages of India, Krutrim Cloud can already understand and respond intelligently in over ten of those languages.

Outlining Krutrim’s commitment to cater to the specific needs of the Indian market. According to Times of India, Aggarwal said, “Krutrim is an Indian platform for developing global applications. We are going to make many more models which are useful in the Indian context. We are working on voice models, vision-based models etc.”

The emphasis Krutrim Cloud places on accessibility, transparency, and linguistic diversity could revolutionize AI research in India and beyond.
