Ola founder and CEO Bhavish Aggarwal said that the company has successfully moved its entire workload from Microsoft’s Azure to its own cloud platform Krutrim. Aggarwal’s announcement of Ola shifting its workload from Azure to Krutrim came after Microsoft-owned Linkedin removed a post by the Ola CEO where he had criticised the platform’s stance on gender pronouns.
Reports suggest that Ola’s move may potentially lead to a loss of over Rs 100 crore for Microsoft in India.
“Done. As committed, Azure spend is now 0. All workloads on @Krutrim cloud. Within a week,” Aggarwal wrote on Wednesday in a post on X. “Will help others also exit and move to our own Indian stack. More than 2500 devs have signed up!! Will be working with everyone to get onto our cloud services over coming weeks,” the post added.
In an earlier tweet announcing his commitment to migrate out of Azure, Aggarwal had also extended an open invitation to other developers, while offering a full year of free cloud usage on Krutrim to those willing to migrate from Azure.
