Ola’s Bhavish Aggarwal forays into AI

Ola co-founder Bhavish Aggarwal has jumped onto the artificial intelligence (AI) models bandwagon with the launch of Krutrim, India’s first multilingual large language model (LLM). With this, he has joined the increasingly competitive AI race dominated by players such as Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI.

“The AI models known around the world are trained largely in English. They cannot capture our culture, language and ethos,” Aggarwal told the media in Bangalore, pursuant to the launch of his maiden AI product. “Our LLM is voice-enabled, and able to understand several languages and even as a mix of languages such as Hinglish — Hindi and English,” he added.
