Anthropic (ANTHRO) said it has opened an office in Bengaluru, Karnataka, and announced partnerships across enterprise, education, and agriculture in India.
The Bengaluru office is Anthropic’s second in Asia after Tokyo.
India is the second-largest market for Claude.ai. Nearly half of Claude usage in India consists of computer and mathematical tasks: building applications, modernizing systems, and shipping production software, according to the company.
Anthropic said it is working with organizations Karya and the Collective Intelligence Project to build evaluations testing performance on locally relevant tasks in domains such as agriculture and law. The company is doing this in partnership with domain experts from Indian nonprofits, including Digital Green and Adalat AI.
Anthropic — which is backed by Amazon (AMZN) and Alphabet’s (GOOG) (GOOGL) Google — noted that its run-rate revenue in India has doubled since it announced its expansion in October 2025.
To support its growing customer base, the company’s India team will offer applied AI expertise to enterprise customers, digital natives, and startups, helping them design, build, and scale Claude-powered solutions tailored to their business requirements.
Anthropic said that airline company Air India is using Claude Code to help developers ship custom software faster and at a lower cost as part of efforts to use agentic AI across its operations.
The company noted that Cognizant (CTSH) is deploying Claude to 350,000 employees globally to modernize legacy systems, accelerate software development, and support AI adoption among its enterprise clients, Anthropic added.
Educational and instructional tasks make up 12% of Claude.ai use in India. Anthropic is collaborating with the Central Square Foundation to use EdTech and AI effectively to educate children from underserved communities, the company noted.
In addition, Anthropic said it is supporting Indian startup Adalat AI to improve access to judicial services with a national WhatsApp helpline, launching on Feb. 16.
