Bodhi Computing Acquisition Signals Ola’s Shift to RISC-V to Make Chips for Krutrim AI Cloud [Video]

After entering the AI space with Krutrim AI, Bhavish Aggarwal, the CEO of Ola Cabs, has now ventured into the AI cloud space.

With Krutrim Cloud, Aggarwal wants to provide Indian developers with sophisticated AI computing infrastructure, as well as access to Krutrim AI models and a range of open-source models.

This initiative resembles a marketplace concept akin to the one being developed by Tata Communications. While Tata is building its AI Cloud with NVIDIA, Aggarwal is batting for Make in India. He wants to design and build the chips that power his AI Cloud locally.

While this might seem outrageously ambitious, Aggarwal has already taken the first step. Last year, he quietly acquired Bodhi Computing, a startup which builds and sells server-grade systems.
