Anthropic to open India office in 2026
On October 11, 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi sat down with Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic—the AI startup backed by Google.
The big news? Anthropic is opening its first Indian office by early 2026, aiming to tap into one of the world's fastest-growing tech markets.
Modi and Amodei discuss AI's role in India
Modi pointed out that India's young talent and thriving tech scene make it the perfect place for responsible AI growth, especially in fields like education, healthcare, and farming.
Amodei agreed, saying India's scale puts it at the heart of AI's future.
Claude Code's rapid growth in India
Anthropic's coding assistant, Claude Code, has seen its use jump five times in India since June—a sign that young Indians are fast adopters.
With a new office, Anthropic aims to leverage India's skilled workforce and huge market in its competition with giants like OpenAI.
Aiming for AI that serves all Indians
This partnership could help bring smart, inclusive AI to more than a billion people, supporting India's vision for tech that benefits everyone.
