We're presenting Pragyaan at EMNLP 2025 this Sunday! A human-in-the-loop pipeline for culturally grounded post-training datasets across 10 Indian languages, blending translation, synthetic generation, and human curation.

@AkasaAir have been following up regarding our misplaced luggage with no success. It’s been more than 2 days!
It takes 20 mins to connect to your customer care and the only update I get is “we are investigating”.

@BlancheMinerva @aviskowron Hi - I am at the AI summit representing @Krutrim - building India-first frontier models. We recently went open source with some of our models. Would love to catch up if you are at the station F tomorrow.

I am at the Business Day - #AIActionSummit in #Paris today and tomorrow. If you are here and would like to learn how we are building the #AI stack for #India at @Krutrim please DM me.

[Ashish Kulkarni @kulashish]

@pjox13 @CommonCrawl Hi @pjox13 I will be there as well from @Krutrim. We are building AI stack for India including foundational models. Would love to catch up!

Announcing the @Krutrim AI lab today! https://t.co/DgzDEsVDiI

While we’ve been working on AI for a year, today we’re releasing our work to the open source community and also publishing a bunch of technical reports.
Our focus is on developing AI for India - to make AI better on Indian languages, data scarcity, cultural context etc. Here’s a list of models we’re releasing:

- Krutrim 2 and Krutrim 1 LLMs: While Krutrim 1 (India’s first LLM) was launched in Jan 24, it was a basic 7B model. We’re launching Krutrim 2 today as a much improved model. More here: https://t.co/LkZwiVpxhq
- Chitrarth 1: India’s first Vision Language Model built on top of Krutrim 1 capable of understanding images and documents. More here: https://t.co/3MuFVVyzSH
- Dhwani 1: India’s first Speech Language Model built on top of Krutrim 1 capable of tasks like Speech translations. More here: https://t.co/buoWsFRfUL
- Vyakhyarth 1: State of the art Indic Embedding model for use cases like Search and RAG. More here: https://t.co/gMq9Bk2oKG
- Krutrim Translate 1: State of the art text to text translation. More here: https://t.co/ZCvtMK5HyC

In addition, since there was no global benchmark for Indic performance, we’ve developed “BharatBench” and the technical report is here: https://t.co/kp4vJCqOhE

We’ve also published a bunch of technical reports and papers here: https://t.co/EoLFpwVvVd

Also announcing India’s first GB200 deployment in partnership with NVIDIA! Will be live by March and we will make it the largest supercomputer in India by end of year.

We’re nowhere close to global benchmarks yet but have made good progress in 1 year. And by open sourcing our models, we hope the entire Indian AI community collaborates to create a world class Indian AI ecosystem. We’re still learning to walk before we can run, hopefully within this year!

All our open source work here:

Also, announcing an investment of ₹2,000 Cr today into Krutrim and a commitment of ₹10,000 Cr by next year!

@eazydiner is such a #scam ! I booked a restaurant because they showed “guaranteed 25% discount” on their app. Yet no discount was applied at the time of payment. Their support is also broken.

@rakshay many things - our obsession with creating plans, cascading goals, creating career frameworks, rating others. The point about attending to what people do best - is simple enough but often missed in most career / performance models.

Read ‘nine lies about work’.. a refreshing new take on the prevalent beliefs and processes at many current organisations.. worth taking a few leaves out of this one!
