Anthropic expands to India with Bengaluru office
Summary
Anthropic announces plans to open a Bengaluru office in early 2026, its second Asia-Pacific location after Tokyo, to serve India’s growing AI ecosystem and rising demand for Claude. CEO and co-founder Dario Amodei is visiting India to meet public officials and enterprise partners, while the company says its regional work will target social impact in education, healthcare, and agriculture and support enterprises, nonprofits, startups, and the entrepreneurial ecosystem. India ranks second globally in consumer Claude usage, with substantial use for programming tasks; Anthropic says Claude Code usage grew more than 10x in its first three months after launch. The expansion also includes enhanced Hindi performance and support improvements for nearly a dozen other Indic languages, intended to broaden public-sector adoption and access.
Context
Anthropic says the expansion responds to India’s rapidly growing AI ecosystem, increasing international demand for Claude, and the country’s need for AI systems that work across diverse languages and contexts. It also cites India’s technical talent, government commitment to broad AI benefits, and strong consumer and programming-related Claude usage.
