When Sam Altman visited India last year, he made a bold statement about the competitiveness of Indian startups in the field of generative AI. Fast forward to early 2024, and India is making significant strides in the field of AI. The first Indian player to take on OpenAI’s GPT models is not a major corporation like Tech Mahindra, but a startup named Ola Krutrim, founded by Bhavish Aggarwal, who is also known for founding Ola Cabs to compete with Uber. Ola Krutrim has developed its own language model and chatbot, with plans to expand its offerings in the near future. Other companies, such as Tech Mahindra and Reliance Industries, are also in the race to develop their own AI models.
