Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal has shared an update on the Krutrim AI assistant. In a post shared on social media platform X (earlier Twitter), Aggarwal revealed that Krutrim assistant version two is “getting ready” and is expected to be released in April. He highlighted the “DeepSearch” feature and noted that he is shifting his usage from other AI apps to Krutrim. The post also includes videos showing how the upcoming version of the Krutirm AI assistant works. However, he noted that the next version of the assistant is still under testing and still has some “rough edges.”
Captoining the post, Aggarwal wrote: “The @Krutrim assistant V2 is getting ready and it is solid! Take a look at the videos. Still some rough edges. Team is working on it and will release in April. I personally love the DeepSearch feature! Moving my usage from other AI apps to our own now

Ola’s Krutrim is India’s first AI unicorn with $50M funding
In 2024, the Ola-owned AI company Krutrim raised $50 million in a funding round led by Matrix Partners India. This helped the startup to achieve a $1 billion valuation and become India’s first AI unicorn.
At that time, the company noted that it’s focusing on building a complete AI computing stack and wants to revolutionise the AI landscape globally.
With the largest representation of Indian data used for its training, Krutrim claims that its base large language model (LLM) can power generative AI apps for all Indian languages. The Krutrim family of LLMs includes Krutrim base and Krutrim Pro
Last month, the company announced that it is currently testing its in-house chip, Bodhi, which is designed for AI inference tasks. At the Krutrim Samvaad event, an Ola executive said that he company plans to improve Bodhi for AI training purposes by 2028.
