Following OpenAI's lead, Anthropic, the artificial intelligence research company that created the Claude model, is now broadening its international presence in India. The organization revealed its intention to establish an office in Bengaluru as it continues its worldwide expansion efforts.

This week, Anthropic's Co-Founder and CEO Dario Amodei is traveling to India to demonstrate the company's dedication to creating ethical AI technologies that foster societal benefits and economic development, which aligns with India's artificial intelligence objectives.

The company will create a focused local operation starting with a Bengaluru office scheduled to launch in early 2026, where they will recruit a regional team dedicated to building AI applications tailored to India's specific local requirements throughout the nation.

Bengaluru was selected due to its robust talent base and close connection to India's business environment. This location will serve as Anthropic's second office in the Indo-Pacific area, following their Tokyo, Japan establishment. The organization also intends to reveal additional regional expansion plans before the end of this year.

Indian users can utilize Anthropic's Claude models by accessing the Anthropic API directly or through Amazon Bedrock and Google Cloud Vertex AI platforms. This approach allows Anthropic to support enterprise clients within their chosen technological ecosystems while upholding strict security protocols and regulatory compliance. Furthermore, Claude Code, which is Anthropic's agent-based command line utility, is accessible to developers in India who want to streamline their development processes using natural language instructions in terminal environments.

With over 300,000 corporate clients globally, Anthropic reports that approximately 80 percent of Claude's consumer adoption occurs outside American borders. Companies in India are already utilizing Claude's functionalities for diverse applications, including the AI coding platform Emergent, as noted by the organization. Through Claude integration, Emergent has successfully made app development more accessible via its "vibe coding" system and represents a notable AI implementation success within India.

Anthropic is investing heavily in enhancing Claude’s Indic language capabilities. The model already supports major Indian languages, and the company plans to launch enhanced performance in Hindi for consumer interfaces. It is also prioritizing training in nearly a dozen additional languages, including Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Punjabi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, and Urdu. This deeper localization will help strengthen public sector adoption, education programs, and wider AI access across India.
