Anthropic to double down on India business

AI firm Anthropic has officially announced its Bengaluru office, calling India its second-largest market for Claude.ai.

The deets: companies like Air India are using Claude Code to build custom software, while Cognizant is rolling it out to 350,000 employees globally. 

Claude Code’s run-rate revenue has crossed $2.5 billion, and Anthropic’s total revenue run rate stands at $14 billion. Enterprise subscriptions have quadrupled this year, with business users now driving over half of Claude Code revenue.

Zoom out: nearly half of Claude usage in India involves heavy-duty computer and math tasks, building apps, modernising systems and shipping production software. 

Anthropic is now launching partnerships across enterprise, education and agriculture, while working to improve AI performance in 10 major Indian languages, including Hindi, Tamil and Bengali.
