Krutrim (Ola AI)
Founded by Ola co-founder Bhavish Aggarwal, Krutrim became India's first AI unicorn in January 2024 after raising $50 million at a $1 billion valuation, and trained one of India's earliest large language models on over 2 trillion tokens with a focus on Indian languages. Facing muted investor interest in its model ambitions, Krutrim has since pivoted its near-term business toward AI cloud and infrastructure services for Indian enterprises, cutting its 2026 fundraising target roughly in half (to $300 million from $500 million) while posting its first annual net profit in FY2026 on about $31.5 million in revenue, roughly triple the prior year.
