Ola rides high on AI
This comes only a month after Ola founder Bhavish Aggarwal’s announcement of Rs 2,000 crore into his AI venture, with a commitment of Rs 10,000 crore by next year.
Incidentally, Aggarwal’s company is also setting up an AI research lab and building its own cloud infrastructure and AI chips.
Speaking at Lenovo TechWorld India 2025 in Mumbai, Ola Group CIO Navendu Agarwal stated, “We are building the largest infrastructure and again very proud to say along with Lenovo, we are building the largest supercomputer of India. That will be powered in our cloud. Then we are also building the foundational models and our own chip.”
Earlier, Bhavish Aggarwal shared that Ola has a team of 700 employees focused on building its full-stack AI offerings.
Interestingly, Ola is building application layers, agentic platforms, contact centre AI and manufacturing AI within its AI-first cloud.
“We are also building agentic platform in a way that it can be used by the startups and the ecosystem so they can build applications for the country at the right cost point and cloud will be that vehicle and on this, along with Lenovo and other companies here, we will partner to make it sabka vikas, together. That's our vision,” Aggarwal said.
The Ola boss said, “We are very proud to say that we are working on a bigger model, Krutrim 3, which will be a 700-billion parameter model, which will be an answer from India to show that we can build the best. And we are very proud to partner with Lenovo in this endeavour.”
