Krutrim now operates a full-stack AI cloud platform built in-house for enterprise customers. The company currently serves more than 25 enterprise customers across sectors including telecom, finance, healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, and consumer internet services. The transition has delivered profitability and improved capital efficiency, with the company indicating it does not require immediate external funding.
