Anthropic, the artificial intelligence (AI) company behind the Claude chatbot, is about to launch its IPO with a massive multibillion-dollar valuation.
But if you're in India, there's a snag: India isn't on the list for Anthropic's global retail offering, and no local firms are allowed to give access.
Countries like Australia, Canada, Japan, and several in Europe made the cut instead.
Indians can buy Anthropic via LRS
Don't lose hope: eligible Indian residents can still get a piece of Anthropic after it lists on Nasdaq (ticker: ANT) on November 19, 2026.
Thanks to RBI's Liberalized Remittance Scheme (LRS), resident individuals can invest up to $250,000 per financial year abroad using international brokerage platforms in the secondary market.
Just keep in mind: you'll need to follow LRS and FEMA rules, pay any taxes due, and be aware that prices might differ from the original IPO rate.
