Krutrim, India’s sovereign cloud platform, has teamed up with Cloudera to strengthen its capabilities in handling large-scale analytics and data lake workloads—starting with Ola and soon extending to other Indian enterprises. This partnership supports Krutrim’s broader goal of developing a vertically integrated cloud infrastructure purpose-built for the Indian market, covering everything from compute and storage to data management and AI applications.
Ola, one of India’s leading mobility platforms, is currently leveraging the joint solution to drive its data operations on the Krutrim Cloud. The Cloudera-powered platform enables real-time analytics, secure data processing, and the flexibility to scale as needed, helping Ola draw actionable insights from vast and diverse data sources more efficiently.
Krutrim is positioning itself as a holistic, AI-driven cloud provider with deep integration across infrastructure layers tailored to local business needs. Commenting on this strategic move, Navendu A., Senior Vice President and Head of Business at Krutrim, said, “We are focused on building India’s cloud with deep integrated capabilities across infrastructure, data, and AI to better serve the unique needs of the Indian market.”
The collaboration with Cloudera plays a crucial role in this strategy by enabling seamless access to enterprise AI tools while ensuring data governance and scalability. Cloudera’s expertise also enhances natural language access to data, making it easier for enterprises to work with complex datasets.
Mayank Baid, Regional Vice President for India & South Asia at Cloudera, highlighted the synergy, stating, “Krutrim’s vision to create a robust AI infrastructure for India aligns perfectly with Cloudera’s mission to enable trusted enterprise AI through data.”
Ola’s use of this stack for mission-critical workloads and collaboration with Cloudera’s professional services team further demonstrates the platform’s reliability and readiness for broader enterprise adoption.
As Krutrim prepares to open this solution to more organizations across India, the partnership marks a significant step towards empowering local businesses with secure, scalable, and intelligent cloud infrastructure designed specifically for India’s data and AI future.
