Krutrim Shifts to AI Cloud Services, Reports Threefold Revenue Growth and First Profit

Krutrim, led by Bhavish Aggarwal, has shifted its focus from AI model building and chip design to developing a full-stack AI cloud services platform tailored for Indian enterprises. Following a late-2025 realignment, the company paused chip development to reallocate resources toward its cloud infrastructure. In FY26, Krutrim reported a threefold revenue increase to about Rs 300 crore and its first annual net profit with a margin over 10%, becoming financially self-sustaining without immediate external funding. The platform supports complex workloads across sectors like mobility, manufacturing, and customer operations, serving over 25 large enterprise clients.
