'Engaging with govt on Al, see big opportunities'

Krutrim is exploring the possibility of working with the central government to boost its artificial intelligence (AI) vision, says RAVI JAIN, head of strategy. In an interview with Peerzada Abrar in Bengaluru, Jain adds that working with the central government is a huge opportunity as it gives scale to the company. Jain says the company, focused on developing full-stack Al capabilities, has opened up its Cloud platform to enterprises, researchers and developers.

What are the innovation bets that you are making for the future?

The vision is to enable developers to do cuttingedge innovation. The platforms or tools that developers need are computing and services and that is what we have opened up. For example, the LLM (large language model) that we have, to create our assistant product is now available to developers to create their own products. They can do this in whichever domain they want to and the infrastructure they need to fine-tune, pre-train and run other processes would be available on our Cloud. Whatever we create should be available to the developers to harvest. For instance, we have launched GPU-as-a-service, model-as-a service and location services. Krutrim Assistant app is now available on Android and an iOS app would be coming soon.

What are the problems that you aim to solve?

The app that you have seen in the Web form, is much easier to use as a standalone native app. Going forward, we will do a lot of work on product features. Our thought process is that we may not be able to build all forms of applications for different domains. That's the reason why we want to give these elements or tools out to developers. They can use them and apply their innovation and create their models. For example, a healthcare company wants to of strategy, Krutrim use the patient interaction tool. It can use a model and create an Indic language patient interaction tool, which will help it provide services to Tier-III towns and rural areas.
