Krutrim, India's sovereign cloud platform, has entered into a strategic partnership with Cloudera to enhance its AI-driven innovation capabilities. The collaboration aims to bolster data engineering and AI capabilities, driving operational efficiency for large-scale analytics and data lake workloads. Enterprises will benefit from scalable, AI-powered solutions tailored to India's diverse market needs, particularly in processing multi-modal data. The partnership is poised to build a comprehensive AI infrastructure in India, addressing enterprise-scale demands across sectors [1].

The partnership will see Cloudera's data and AI stack powering critical workloads on Krutrim Cloud, starting with Ola and later expanding to its other enterprise customers. Krutrim is building a vertically integrated cloud stack that includes compute, storage, data management, and foundational AI models, optimized for India's diverse linguistic context [2]. With Cloudera, Krutrim aims to deliver scalable data lake and AI services to its enterprise clients.

Krutrim's Senior Vice President and Head of Business, Navendu Agarwal, stated, "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." He added, "With Cloudera on Krutrim, it will give our clients the scalability and performance to advance data lake use cases with confidence and empower businesses to create and package cost-effective solutions on India's own sovereign cloud."

Mayank Baid, Regional Vice President, India & South Asia, Cloudera, said, "Krutrim’s vision to create a robust AI infrastructure for India aligns perfectly with Cloudera’s mission to enable trusted enterprise AI through data." He added, "With Ola Group already running mission-critical workloads on this stack, and working with our professional services team on data quality, governance, and natural language access, we’re excited about co-developing and implementing the solution framework that brings to the broader enterprise adoption in India."

The partnership underscores Cloudera's position as a preferred partner for data-driven transformation in India's rapidly evolving technology landscape and Krutrim's commitment to building an enterprise-grade, India-first cloud that meets the high demands of enterprises [1].
