Krutrim
Krutrim is Ola's bet on India-built AI, spanning three things: a multilingual large language model trained for Indian languages, a consumer assistant called Kruti, and a sovereign AI cloud. The foundation model is a roughly two-trillion-token multilingual system aimed at representing India's many native tongues, and the company reports strong results on Indic-language benchmarks relative to its training budget. Kruti combines voice and text, supports more than ten Indian languages at launch with a roadmap toward twenty-four, and is tuned for local context, from festivals and cricket to regional governance. Krutrim also runs an AI-first sovereign cloud positioned to keep Indian data in-country. The consumer assistant is free, the cloud is a paid platform billed in rupees with GST, and the whole stack is built and supported in India, which is its main point of difference from global assistants.

Our take
Krutrim is Ola's India-focused AI effort: a multilingual foundation model trained for Indic languages, a consumer assistant (Kruti) that handles voice and text across 10+ Indian languages with local context, and a sovereign AI cloud. It's free to try for consumers and India-built end to end, though its models still trail the global frontier on general benchmarks.
Best for
Indian users and businesses that want an assistant and AI cloud built around Indic languages and local data residency.
Pros
- Strong Indic-language coverage, expanding toward 24 languages
- Consumer assistant handles both voice and text
- India-built with a sovereign cloud and local data residency
- Free to use for consumers
Cons
- Models still trail the global frontier on general tasks
- Younger ecosystem than established assistants
- Breadth (assistant, model, cloud) can blur product focus
How it compares
Against ChatGPT or Gemini, Krutrim's wedge isn't raw capability but India depth: Indic-language fluency, local context, and data that stays in-country on a sovereign cloud.
