Bhavish Aggarwal invested Rs 2,000 crore into Krutrim, while he intends to provide an additional Rs 10,000 crore investment by 2025. The investment stands as a fundamental growth point since Aggarwal plans to deposit Rs 10,000 crore into Krutrim throughout 2025. The firm intends to build technological proficiency ahead of its goal to control the AI market sector. Matrix Partners India received its investment capital from both equity and debt instruments worth $50 million in 2024.
During his announcement, Aggarwal introduced KrutrimAI lab which established itself as a new effort to accelerate AI development throughout India. The lab will develop AI models for specific Indian languages because it recognizes both language-specific cultural elements and lacks data available for training. According to Aggarwal Krutrim has decided to provide major portions of its technical reports and AI models to the open-source community. Krutrim makes its innovations available publicly so that India's AI community can join forces in AI development.
Krutrim Startup experiences a turning point as it launches its large language models (LLMs) Krutrim 1 and 2. Krutrim 2 stands out as a transformer model that carries 12 billion parameters making it dense. This model represents the best option according to the firm specifically designed for Indic languages because it drew training from hundreds of billions of tokens across various languages and high-quality content and programming code.
Krutrim plans to use India's inaugural GB200 system which Nvidia will develop as part of their collaborative partnership. By March 2025 the system will begin operations while Krutrim targets to establish the system as India's biggest supercomputer during the same year. This move will provide a major increase to the company's present capabilities in AI research and development activities.
Through its first AI chip development project Krutrim plans to release the new technology during 2026. These AI initiatives support Aggarwal's goal to develop world-class AI tools that will let India challenge global AI development. The DeepSeek models are now hosted on Krutrim's cloud system because the company continues its mission to become a leading force in the Indian AI market.
The BharatBench platform serves as Krutrim's creation for supporting national artificial intelligence development through a distinctive standard. The main purpose of this evaluation platform is to measure how well large language models operate within Indian language settings and cultural circumstances. The global benchmarks MMLU and ARC fall short in accurately measuring India's extensive language diversity according to Aggarwal. The BharatBench platform steps in to address the current shortfall by delivering precise performance measurements regarding artificial intelligence operations in India's diverse linguistic systems.
Krutrim plays a major role that contributes powerfully to India's GenAI sector's development. The Indian AI market features Krutrim as one of just a few companies to obtain substantial funding at the same time as emerging startup Sarvam AI. Through its expanding operations Krutrim aims to change how AI is developed globally while leading innovation in Indian artificial intelligence through open-source models and AI development at a local level.
