BENGALURU: Ola co-founder and CEO Bhavish Aggarwal emphasized the need for artificial intelligence (AI) sovereignty in India during an event in Hosur. He stated that India must take control of its own future and not become passive users of global technologies.
Ola’s AI company, Krutrim, is on a mission to manufacture India’s first AI silicon chip by 2026, aiming to compete with established players like Nvidia, AMD, and Intel. The company has partnered with industry leaders like ARM and Untether AI to develop these cutting-edge chips.
The AI chip is expected to revolutionize AI systems, making them faster and more efficient. Ola is exploring global foundries in countries like Taiwan and Korea for manufacturing these chips.
Krutrim also unveiled Krutrim Cloud, a platform offering AI and general-purpose services for developers. The company has made Rs 100 crore worth of data center services free for developers and enterprises until Diwali.
In the electric vehicle (EV) sector, Ola Electric Mobility launched its first electric motorcycles, with deliveries starting in the fourth quarter of the current financial year. The company also introduced MoveOS 5 software with Ola Maps and Krutrim AI integrations.
