Bhavish Aggarwal's AI startup, Krutrim, is making significant strides by acquiring BharatSah’AI’yak, an AI platform developed by the consultancy firm Samagra. This move aims to make AI more accessible and useful for the public, especially in connecting people with government services. Although the details of the deal aren't known, the focus is on creating AI that works for India's diverse population.

Turning AI Ideas Into Real-World Use

Krutrim is already developing powerful tools like large language models (LLMs) and its AI platform called Kruti. But with this acquisition, it’s focusing on making these tools work for everyday uses, especially in public services. What makes BharatSah’AI’yak special is its ability to build AI bots that talk and respond in local Indian languages, both through voice and text. These aren’t basic chatbots, they’re designed for the Indian audience, keeping in mind the need for simple, low-cost, and multilingual solutions.

Now that it’s part of Krutrim, the goal is to bring this technology to more people—especially through government websites, public platforms, and citizen-facing apps.

More Than Just Tech

This deal isn’t just about software. Krutrim is also welcoming the team behind BharatSah’AI’yak into the company. These are the people who built the platform from the ground up. By bringing them on board, Krutrim is making sure that the mission behind BharatSah’AI’yak stays alive and strong.
