Key Points:
- Anthropic’s India revenue run-rate doubled in four months, making India its largest market after the U.S.
- The company opened a Bengaluru office led by former Microsoft India MD Irina Ghose, with strong adoption of Claude AI in enterprises and among developers.
- Claude’s capabilities are expanding in 10 Indian languages, with partnerships across sectors like legal, education, healthcare, and agriculture.
Anthropic says its India revenue run-rate has doubled in four months, driven by rapid adoption of its Claude AI products, as the company opens a Bengaluru office and expands partnerships across key sectors.
Chief executive officer Dario Amodei said Monday that India has become the company’s largest market for Claude after the United States, reflecting strong uptake of its coding and enterprise-focused AI tools.
Anthropic announced its India expansion in October 2025 and formally opened its Bengaluru office on Monday. The new operation will be led by Irina Ghose, who previously served as managing director of Microsoft India.
“India represents one of the world’s most promising opportunities to bring the benefits of responsible AI to vastly more people and enterprises,” Ghose said in a statement.
The announcements come ahead of Amodei’s scheduled appearance at the India AI Impact Summit later this week.
Enterprise Demand and Developer Use Drive Rapid Growth
Anthropic India Revenue has increasingly focused on the enterprise AI market as adoption of its Claude coding product has surged since it became generally available last May. The company also introduced Claude Cowork, an AI agent designed to help white-collar workers execute computer-based tasks, last month.
Nearly half of Claude’s usage in India relates to computer and mathematical work, including application development, system modernization, and production software, Anthropic said. The company described India’s developer community as among the most active user bases for the tool globally.
“Developers here are building at enormous scale and speed,” Amodei said. “They are pushing our models in sophisticated ways, particularly for coding and complex technical workflows.”
Several large companies are already deploying Claude in their operations. Air India is using Claude Code in software development processes, while fintech firm CRED has used the tool to speed feature delivery and improve test coverage.
Global IT services firm Cognizant is deploying Claude to 350,000 employees worldwide to support system modernization and software development, the company said.
Anthropic India Revenue also announced new partnerships with Indian startups in legal services, education, healthcare, and agriculture, signaling a broader push beyond software engineering use cases.
Language Expansion and Local Partnerships Deepen Market Push
Building stronger language capabilities is another priority for the company in India. Anthropic has spent the past six months improving Claude’s performance in 10 widely spoken Indian languages: Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Punjabi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, and Urdu.
The effort includes creating more representative training datasets and developing evaluation systems that test how models perform on locally relevant tasks, such as agricultural decision-making and legal research.
Anthropic India Revenue is working with Karya and the Collective Intelligence Project on those evaluation systems, the company said.
The expansion follows a major funding round last week in which the Amazon- and Alphabet-backed startup raised $30 billion, valuing the firm at $380 billion.
The Bengaluru office is Anthropic’s second location in Asia after Tokyo. The company said it plans to continue hiring engineers, product specialists, and policy experts in India over the coming months.
“Our goal is to build AI that is useful, safe, and aligned with the needs of people in different regions,” Amodei said. “India is central to that mission.”
