Ola's AI venture, Crewtrim, will design and develop India's first AI silicon chips by 2026, which are specifically designed to handle complex AI tasks and workloads. This is part of the firm's efforts to strengthen its full-stack AI capabilities, which include basic models, cloud, and silicon.

"This is the time of AI, this is the time of the future of computing. India needs to build its own AI stack, "Ola founder Bhavish Aggarwal said at Sankalp 2024, the company's flagship event at Ola Futurefactory in Krishnagiri, Tamil Nadu.

The initial family of chips includes Bodhi for AI, Serv for general computing, and Ojas for edge computing. The chips will enable the development of faster and efficient AI systems and mark a milestone in achieving India's technological sovereignty, the company said in a statement.

The company plans to launch Bodhi 2 by 2028, which will be trained on 10 trillion parameters and scalable to X-scale supercomputing. Exascale systems are supercomputers that can process information much faster than today's most advanced supercomputers.

To support these advances, the firm plans to scale its data center capacity to 1 GW by 2028. Additionally, it works in collaboration with global leaders such as Arm and Untether AI for the development of its CPU and AI chips.

Along with various purpose-built AI services aimed at helping the Indian developer community build technology applications at a more affordable price, the company has also launched the Crewtrim Cloud with AI and general-purpose capabilities. Krutrim AI will be available on Ola Electric and Ola Cabs to enhance the user experience. Currently, more than 25,000 developers are using Crytrim Cloud and more than 250 billion API calls have been made across products since its launch in early 2024.

In addition, the company introduced more than 50 new services in the Krutrim Cloud. These include Bhashic, a language hub with multimodal translation capabilities across text, voice, and video, and Customer Experience AI, which features multimodal AI agents for enterprises working across mobile apps.
