India needs more infra to train larger AI models, says Krutrim's top executive
Ola's artificial intelligence arm Krutrim is looking to get its base infrastructure, from semiconductors to hardware, fast and cost-effective as the company scales up its AI services, senior vice-president and head of business A Navendu said. Krutrim, which raised $50 million in 2024, has seen few takers for its AI products due to poor documentation and lack of adequate technical maturity, ET reported earlier this month, citing several developers and startup founders. Navendu, who was previously chief information officer at Ola Electric , told ET that one of the biggest challenges in the country is the lack of infrastructure for training large models, as only 10,000 GPUs are currently available, and the rest of the GPUs under the IndiaAI Mission are still to be delivered. 'If you look at (US AI startup) Grok, it is trained on 100,000 GPUs and (ChatGPT developer) OpenAI, 200,000 every quarter. You have to cut some slack for Indian companies,' he said. Early this year, Krutrim announced that it would invest Rs 2,000 crore in Krutrim AI labs as part of a total investment of Rs 10,000 crore by next year. The second biggest challenge is data. Discover the stories of your interest Blockchain 5 Stories Cyber-safety 7 Stories Fintech 9 Stories E-comm 9 Stories ML 8 Stories Edtech 6 Stories There is a dearth of Indic language data, said Chandra Khatri, who heads AI at Krutrim. 'If you look at data on the web, only 1% of it is Indian languages whereas the Indian population is 20% of the group. If you want to build for India, you need to scrape, digitise, scam and collect data. This is a challenge.' The company is working on a multibillion parameter model. To address the compute needs, it will use a mixture of its own and IndiaAI GPUs and will also explore building its own data centres, Navendu told ET. He did not disclose the details. Navendu spoke to ET on the sidelines of the launch of the company's agentic AI assistant Kruti, a consumer application that is autonomous and can take action on behalf of the user. It is currently integrated with Ola's ecosystem offering four services, including cab booking, food delivery, bill payment and image generation, with plans to expand further. The company is also in talks with multiple services across healthcare and shopping use cases. Sunit S, head of product design, said it will also pursue partnerships with ONDC, which offers services such as metro tickets and recharge.

Eye in the sky: India to set up satellites to spy on satellites
New Delhi: The defence ministry is in the process of finalizing a multi-year contract to set up a 'constellation of satellites" that will monitor other satellites that may be surveilling India, said three people aware of the development. The final project will be monitored by a team of technical experts, likely to be outsourced to a private space startup specializing in this field. The contract, worth ₹150 crore per year, will also involve India's very own network of spy satellites that are expected to be built and sent up by end-2026, they said. The 'satellite mapping' project will hinge on a network of satellites that will communicate with each other to relay data to stations on the ground. The network will be assembled entirely in India, and deployed entirely by end-2026, each of the three people cited above affirmed to Mint. 'This is one part of India's efforts to use its space prowess to bolster national security. The project in question will help preemptively detect space surveillance efforts against India, and will ramp up the capabilities that Indian Space Research Organisation's (Isro's) Network for Space Object Tracking and Analysis (Netra) initiative can already achieve," said one of the people cited above. Also read | Mint Primer: How do spy satellites work around the world? To be sure, Isro's Netra, announced five years ago, is largely centred around monitoring space debris and satellite positions—in a bid to help India plan indigenous space excursions. The new project, which the defence ministry is currently helming as per all the three people that Mint spoke with, will dedicatedly track surveillance efforts in space. 'This will be a small peg in a large, extensive system. It's important to note that India already had some satellite and ground telescope-based surveillance monitoring systems, through Isro. The new project will be a big boost to Digantara (a startup), and is definitely a good thing since it will bolster the use of space services in India's national security capabilities. But, how effective it will be, and to what extent it will differentiate India's ability, will remain to be seen only after the project becomes active," said Chaitanya Giri, space fellow at global think-tank and consultant, Observer Research Foundation. On 12 May, Mint reported that the ministry of defence and Department of Science and Technology had asked three private space entities to speed-up deployment of the Space-Based Surveillance (SBS)-3 project, which seeks to deploy a constellation of surveillance satellites in orbit. Read this | Isro satellites ensured safety, security of citizens; no Indian assets lost in Op Sindoor: Govt As part of this satellite mapping project, a control team is expected to work out of Bengaluru, and may even collaborate with Isro to synchronize their services, the second person cited above said. The person added that Bengaluru-based, Peak XV-backed startup Digantara has been awarded the contract. Queries mailed to the defence ministry and the startup did not elicit a response by press time. 'This is one of the biggest private space contracts that the Indian government has offered to a private space startup in India. The move reflects growing confidence in India's private space capabilities, and will eventually bolster confidence in domestic startups gaining contracts from around the world," the third person said. Digantara, in February this year, set-up an independent entity in Denver, US, to cater to space and defence contracts from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) and the US Department of Defense (DoD). The startup followed in the footsteps of fellow Bengaluru-origin satellite imagery startup, Pixxel, which set-up a US entity in Los Angeles. In September last year, it won a contract from the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa) for a satellite-based data acquisition project. Earlier, government officials had said that India's space promotions body, Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Centre (In-Space), was working to raise awareness within ministries to facilitate their usage of India's space startups. 'There is a considerable amount of awareness work being done at ministries. The government can and will be a key customer for space services, and in the near term, the effects of these contracts and tenders will be seen," said Pawan Kumar Goenka, chairman of In-Space. Goenka had commented in light of S. Somanath, former chairman of Isro, stating last year that the Centre was yet to emerge as a big customer of space services in order to successfully emulate the US model of operation.

Indian inventors set patent records
Bengaluru: Anil Agiwal, an alumnus of IIT Kharagpur, rose as one of India's prominent inventors, filing an impressive 2,010 patents in the country. This milestone was highlighted through a GreyB research study, a consultancy known for its expertise in innovation intelligence, which ranked him among the Top 50 Indian inventors driving patent filings in India. Agiwal's work centres on breakthroughs in cellular communication, notably in 4G, 5G, and 5G Advanced radio access technologies. Agiwal, associated with Samsung Research America, is noted not only for his 2,010 Indian patents but also for holding 471 US patents. His journey began with a campus placement at Samsung R&D Institute Bangalore following his graduation from IIT Kharagpur in 2002. GreyB's assessment considered patents published between 2016 and 2023 within each inventor's portfolio. Kapil Bhattad, an IIT Madras graduate who now serves as senior director of engineering at Qualcomm in Bangalore, holds 1,647 patents. He completed a BTech in electrical engineering from IIT Madras in 2002 and went on to receive a PhD from Texas A&M University. Jaidev Rajnikant Shroff, Chairman and Group CEO of UPL, and Vikram Rajnikant Shroff, a director in the company, ranked third and fourth with 1,195 and 998 patents, respectively. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Venkateswarlu Jasti, chairman and managing director of Suven Life Sciences, took the fifth ranking with 788 patents. The GreyB listing aims to spotlight the notable achievements of Indian inventors by analysing the Top 50 in the country. Ajit Manocha, president and CEO of SEMI, a microelectronics industry group, said: "Semiconductor companies honour and reward employees for their patents, recognising this as the lifeblood of innovation. Employee inventors are typically rewarded with a combination of financial incentives and recognition. These may include cash bonuses, plaques, and public acknowledgment, often tied to milestones in the patent process, like application filing or patent issuance. Early in my career at AT&T Bell Labs, my patents helped me advance my career. I put a premium on rewarding my employees for their patents at every stop in my career." According to Satya Gupta, president of the VLSI Society of India, an increase in the number of patents often leads to a drop in quality. "Out of 1,000 patents filed globally, only 10 may be impactful. This is the story not just with Indian companies but also multinationals. They want to accumulate patents," he said. Gupta also highlighted that patents are generally registered to company names, not individual employees, due to standard intellectual property clauses in employment agreements that assign ownership of such creations to the employer. GreyB's findings showed that inventors and researchers working at Qualcomm, Microsoft, Apple, Google, and several Asian firms including Samsung, Huawei, Oppo, and Xiaomi, made the largest number of patent submissions in India. This underscores India's growing importance as a market for global technology firms. In 2025, 3,520 patents were approved from 9,000 applications. Indian inventors received over 1 lakh patents in 2024. IESA president Ashok Chandak noted that both Indian and global technology companies have started viewing intellectual property as a vital strategic resource. They use it to stand apart in the market, accrue economic benefits, create enduring business models, attract investors, raise company evaluations, and strengthen their positions in international negotiations.
