Event Summary

Anthropic, a US-based AI company, has officially opened its first office in India — Bengaluru, India, marking its second base in the Asia-Pacific region. This move acknowledges India as the second-largest market for its AI assistant, Claude.ai, with nearly half of its usage in the country involving computer and mathematical tasks. The new office, led by Irina Ghose, aims to hire local talent and deepen Anthropic's commitment to India through new partnerships across enterprise, education, and agriculture sectors. Notable collaborations include India using Claude Code for software development, Cognizant deploying AI to its employees, and Pratham piloting an AI-based assessment platform. Anthropic is also focusing on enhancing language capabilities, curating training data in 10 widely spoken Indian languages, and working with organizations like Karya and the Collective Intelligence Project to test model performance on local tasks.
