Bhavish Aggarwal’s Krutrim brings DeepSeek R1 to Indian developers

Even as the debate on the use of DeepSeek’s artificial intelligence (AI) model continues, Ola founder Bhavish Aggarwal on Tuesday said one can make use of the open source model of the company.

Krutrim — the AI platform developed by Ola to cater to the needs of Indian consumers — has deployed Chinese company DeepSeek’s latest foundation model R1 671B on Nvidia’s H100s graphics processing units in India, he said.
