Ola’s Krutrim Acquires BharatSah’AI’yak to Scale AI Solutions for Public Sector
Krutrim, India’s first AI unicorn, has acquired BharatSah‘AI’yak, an AI-focused platform created by Samagra, to strengthen its presence in the country’s public-sector technology arena. Samagra has played a key role in implementing AI solutions for government education, agriculture, and governance initiatives. With this acquisition, Krutrim intends to use its advanced LLMs, cloud technology, and the foundational agentic platform that powers Kruti, its novel agentic AI assistant app, to expand BharatSah’AI’yak’s reach throughout India. The merger of BharatSah’AI’yak with Krutrim Cloud, combined with Krutrim’s agentic platforms and LLM models, allows the company and its collaborators to address a broad spectrum of use cases and governmental applications. “Integrating BharatSah’Ai’yak into the Krutrim ecosystem widens its offerings, lending cutting-edge AI-centric assistance and support to a range of government initiatives, programs and schemes, thereby spearheading and strengthening the democratisation of AI, making it beneficial and accessible to every Indian,” a Krutrim spokesperson said. BharatSah’AI’yak focuses on developing Bharat-centric, vernacular retrieval augmented generation-based AI bots that provide text and voice interaction experiences. The platform excels in crafting solutions that merge conversational and deterministic flows while remaining budget-friendly and accessible for users at the last mile. The platform’s effectiveness is illustrated through various impactful implementations. KumbhSah’AI’yak, India’s inaugural AI-enabled chatbot for Maha Kumbh 2025, offers pilgrims 24/7 assistance on rituals, navigation, accommodation, and attractions. Krutrim provided cutting-edge hosted open-source LLM services for this chatbot. Moreover, the Ama Krushi AI chatbot in Odisha is designed to voice-activate agricultural and scheme advice for farmers in regional languages, utilising official government data. According to the company, Krutrim’s AI models, cloud infrastructure, and agentic platform support Kruti in equipping these specialised assistants to scale and accommodate more users across various sectors with intuitive, effective, and language-inclusive interactions. Recently, Krutrim introduced Kruti, the nation’s first agentic AI assistant that aims to surpass typical chatbots. Kruti is set to transform AI significantly, shifting from passive responses to proactive task execution. It can perform tasks such as booking cabs, ordering food, paying bills, creating images, conducting detailed research, and offering read-aloud features. Furthermore, it provides advanced AI functionalities like in-depth research and image creation free of charge for users.
This move aims to use Krutrim’s advanced LLMs and cloud technology to enhance BharatSah’AI’yak’s capabilities, focusing on vernacular, accessible AI solutions.
