Anthropic hires Sangeeta Bavi to lead India startup and growth
Anthropic, the AI company behind Claude, just brought on Sangeeta Bavi to lead its startup and growth efforts in India.
With experience at YourStory Media and Microsoft's startup division, Bavi is set to help more Indian startups tap into Anthropic's AI tools.
India is Claude's 2nd-biggest market
India is already Claude's second-biggest market, making up about 7.2% of global usage. Anthropic plans to open its first Bengaluru office to support local teams and expand further.
Bavi joins a growing leadership team in India, part of Anthropic's push to become a bigger player in the country's fast-growing AI scene.
As Bavi puts it, "Founders have always held a special place in (my heart)," she wrote. "Their ambition, resilience and belief that they can change the world have taught me more than any other form of learning. That's why joining Anthropic as Head of Digital Natives, Startups & Growth, India feels deeply meaningful."
