New Delhi, Feb 4 (PTI) Ola's Krutrim has launched Krutirm AI Lab with an initial investment of Rs 2,000 crore, which it plans to scale up to Rs 10,000 crore over the next year, the company said on Tuesday.
Krutrim claimed that it will be the country's first AI frontier research lab that will make AI research accessible, attract the best talent, and establish India as a global leader in open-source AI.
"Krutrim announced an investment of Rs 2,000 crore today (equity and debt) with a commitment of Rs 10,000 crore by next year.
