Who: Anthropic — the $183B AI company behind Claude, one of ChatGPT’s leading rivals.

What: Announcing a new Asia Pacific office in Bengaluru, India’s tech capital.

When: Office to open in early 2026; CEO Dario Amodei’s visit is happening this week.

Where: Bengaluru, India — the “Silicon Valley of the East.”

Why: To tap into India’s massive technical talent, booming AI adoption, and demand for trustworthy, scalable AI models.

Something big is happening in India’s AI scene.

Not just more startups, not just more hype — but a seismic shift in who builds the future.

And Anthropic is betting big on it. 🚀

Anthropic is planting its flag in Bengaluru, setting up its second Asia-Pacific office after Tokyo.

The goal? To serve India’s fast-expanding AI ecosystem, deepen partnerships, and make AI more accessible across industries.

In other words — India isn’t just a market. It’s a movement.

The Bengaluru office will be more than a workplace — it’s envisioned as an innovation hub for AI with purpose.

Here’s how Anthropic plans to make a difference:

• 🎓 Education: Personalized tutoring through AI-driven learning tools.

• 🏥 Healthcare: Streamlining diagnoses, triaging patients, and optimizing hospital operations.

• 🌾 Agriculture: Helping farmers make data-driven crop decisions and manage resources efficiently.

• 🤝 Partnerships: Collaborating with Indian enterprises, nonprofits, and startups to drive local impact.

These initiatives align with Anthropic’s broader mission: building AI that benefits everyone, not just a privileged few.

According to Anthropic’s Economic Index Report, India ranks #2 globally in Claude usage — trailing only the U.S.

Even more striking:

• 🚀 CRED, among others, relies on Claude for mission-critical engineering work.

• ⚙️ Claude Code has seen a 10x growth since launch — fueled largely by India’s developer community.

This makes India a critical hub for Anthropic’s future — a creator nation rather than just a consumer market.

Anthropic’s India strategy is deeply localized — and that starts with language.

Claude now supports:

🗣️ Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Kannada, Gujarati, Punjabi, Malayalam, and Urdu — with more on the way.

This multilingual expansion will:

• Empower public sector adoption,

• Broaden accessibility for non-English speakers, and

• Bring AI closer to every corner of India. 🇮🇳

Anthropic’s move isn’t just about office space.

It’s about philosophy: making AI more democratic, safe, and globally collaborative.

India offers:

• A thriving developer base,

• A reform-oriented government,

• And a culture of rapid tech adoption.

Together, these create fertile ground for Anthropic’s vision — responsible AI that empowers, not replaces.
