Anthropic Opens Bengaluru Office, Announces Key India Partnerships

The global AI landscape just got a significant boost! Anthropic, a leading AI safety and research company, has officially opened its new office in Bengaluru, India. This marks their second office in Asia, following Tokyo, and signals a deep commitment to one of the world's most vibrant tech ecosystems. Led by Managing Director of India, Irina Ghose, this expansion is set to supercharge Anthropic's presence and impact in the region.

What Happened

India has rapidly emerged as a powerhouse for AI innovation and adoption. It's already the second-largest market for Claude.ai, with an impressive nearly 50% of Claude usage in the country dedicated to complex computer and mathematical tasks like application building and system modernization. It's no wonder that Anthropic's run-rate revenue in India has doubled since its expansion announcement in October 2025 – a clear indicator of the nation's burgeoning demand for advanced AI solutions.

Recognizing the rich linguistic diversity of India, Anthropic has also made significant strides in enhancing Claude's fluency. The AI assistant now performs better in 10 widely spoken Indian languages: Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Punjabi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, and Urdu, making it more accessible and useful to a broader population.

Why It Matters: Partnerships Across the Board

Anthropic isn't just opening an office; they're diving deep into strategic collaborations that promise to revolutionize various sectors.

  • Enterprise & Digital Natives: Major players are already leveraging Anthropic's capabilities. Air India is using Anthropic Claude Code to accelerate custom software development, while CRED has seen remarkable results, achieving 2x faster feature delivery and 10% better test coverage with the same tool. Global consulting giant Cognizant is deploying Claude to 350,000 employees worldwide to modernize systems and boost AI adoption. And for startups, the story is equally compelling: Emergent, an AI platform built with Anthropic Claude Product, impressively reached $25 million in annual recurring revenue and 2 million users in under five months!

  • Education for All: In a pioneering move, Anthropic is partnering with Pratham, one of India's largest education nonprofits. They are piloting the Claude-powered Anytime Testing Machine with 1,500 students across 20 schools, with ambitious plans to expand to 100 schools by the end of 2026. This system has already been adapted for over 5,000 learners in Pratham’s Second Chance program, offering flexible learning pathways.

  • Public Sector & Social Impact: Anthropic's commitment extends to improving public services. They're supporting Adalat AI's national WhatsApp helpline (launching today), which uses Claude to provide instant case updates, translation, summarization, and interactive querying of legal documents in native Indian languages. This initiative aims to address India's staggering 50 million pending court cases. Furthermore, the Indian Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) launched the first official Indian government Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, an open-source standard Anthropic donated to the Linux Foundation. Even Swiggy is using the MCP to enable direct grocery orders and dining reservations through Claude, showcasing its versatility.

The opening of Anthropic's Bengaluru office and these diverse partnerships underscore a powerful commitment to India's future, demonstrating how responsible AI can drive significant progress across industries and communities.
