As global AI competition heats up, Anthropic is doubling down on India. The company has opened a new office in Bengaluru and announced partnerships across aviation, fintech, education and agriculture, strengthening its presence in what it calls its second-largest market globally.
The Bengaluru centre will focus on hiring local talent for enterprise and applied AI roles. The move comes a month after Anthropic appointed Irina Ghose as India Managing Director in January. The new office is its second location in Asia after Tokyo. CEO Dario Amodei said the company’s India business run rate has doubled since it outlined expansion plans in October 2025.
Among its key clients, Air India is using Anthropic’s Claude Code tool to speed up software development as part of its AI transformation. Cognizant is deploying Claude to modernise legacy systems. In addition, Cognizant uses it to accelerate AI adoption.
Anthropic is also working to improve its models across 10 widely spoken Indian languages, including Hindi, Bengali and Tamil. The company aims to reduce the gap between English and Indic-language AI capabilities.
The company has donated its Model Context Protocol to the Linux Foundation. Using this standard, India’s Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation has launched an official server. This server allows AI systems to access national statistics securely. Meanwhile, Swiggy is using the protocol to connect grocery orders and dining reservations with Claude.
