Claude AI's parent Anthropic opens 1st India office in Bengaluru
Anthropic, the AI company behind Claude, just opened its first India office in Bengaluru's Embassy Golf Links region—its second Asian base after Tokyo.
The launch happened on February 16, with Irina Ghose leading since January.
India is Claude's 2nd-largest market
India is now Claude's second-largest market, and run-rate revenue in India has doubled since October 2025.
Nearly half of Claude usage in India comprises computer and mathematical tasks: building applications, modernizing systems, and shipping production software.
Claude is already helping these companies
Anthropic is working with big names like Air India (for faster software), Cognizant (helping 350,000 employees update legacy tech), Razorpay, Cred, and Pratham—which is testing a Claude-powered Anytime Testing Machine in schools for 1,500 students.
Plans to make Claude multilingual and smarter
The Bengaluru office will hire for enterprise and applied AI roles while making Claude smarter in 10 Indian languages like Hindi and Tamil.
They're also teaming up with Karya to test AI on real-world agriculture challenges.
