Anthropic, an AI startup backed by Google and Amazon, has announced plans to open its first Indian office in Bengaluru in early 2026. The move reflects India’s rising importance as a market for AI adoption — Anthropic calls India its second‐largest market for its Claude chatbot.
The new office is expected to deepen the company’s local partnerships and operations, involve hiring, and help navigate Indian regulatory and customer contexts more effectively. It also signals confidence in India’s talent pool and AI infrastructure at scale.
