Anthropic opens office in Bengaluru; to hire local talent

She said that to support this growing customer base, the India team will offer applied AI expertise to enterprise customers, digital natives and startups, helping them design, build, and scale Claude-powered solutions tailored to their business needs.

Bengaluru: Anthropic, an AI safety and research company, on Monday opened its office in Bengaluru and announced partnerships across enterprise, modernising systems, and shipping production software in the country. Led by Managing Director of India, Irina Ghose, the office will focus on hiring local talent across a wide array of roles. This is its second office in Asia after Tokyo.

“Our revenue run-rate in India has doubled since we announced our expansion in October 2025, and the range of organisations building
on Claude reflects how broadly that growth is distributed — from large enterprises to digital-native companies to startups shipping their
first products,” Ghose said in a statement.

To support this growing customer base, the India team will offer applied AI expertise to enterprise customers, digital natives and startups, helping them design, build, and scale Claude-powered solutions tailored to their business needs, she said.

“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.

India is home to extraordinary technical talent, digital infrastructure at scale, and a proven track record of using technology to improve people’s lives, she said, adding, “That’s exactly the foundation you need to make sure this technology reaches the people who can benefit from it the most.”

India is the second-largest market for Claude.ai, home to a developer community doing some of the most technically-intense AI work. Nearly half of Claude usage in India comprises computer and mathematical tasks: building applications, modernising systems, and shipping production software.

Over the last six months, Anthropic has built language capabilities in India’s 10-most widely spoken languages such as Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Punjabi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, and Urdu. It is now working with Karva and the Collective Intelligence Project to build evaluations testing performance on locally-relevant tasks across domains like agriculture and law, in partnership with domain experts from leading Indian non-profits including Digital Green and Adalat AI.

“This work will inform how we improve future models for speakers of Indic languages and for use cases important to India and the businesses that use Claude. We intend to make the evaluations publicly available for others to use,” the company’s statement said.
