Anthropic said its revenue run-rate in India has doubled over the past four months, reflecting strong adoption of its Claude AI coding products. CEO Dario Amodei made the announcement Monday at the company’s Builder Summit in Bengaluru, coinciding with the opening of Anthropic’s new office in the city. India is now the startup’s second-largest market after the United States.
Anthropic has focused on enterprise AI, with Claude Code gaining traction among developers since its general availability last May. The company launched Claude Cowork last month, an AI agent for automating professional workflows, and a January plug-in for task automation triggered a global selloff in software stocks, raising concerns about generative AI’s disruption to India’s $283 billion IT services sector.
Several partnerships were highlighted in India: Air India is using Claude Code to accelerate custom software and integrate AI across operations, while Cognizant is deploying the platform to modernize legacy systems. The startup also announced collaborations with Indian firms in legal, education, healthcare, and agriculture. Amodei emphasised the “technical intensity” of Claude usage in India and its focus on productivity and professional workloads, ahead of his participation in the India AI Impact Summit.
