Infosys announced on Tuesday a partnership with Anthropic to integrate Claude models into its Topaz AI platform. The collaboration will focus on building “agentic” AI systems capable of autonomously executing complex enterprise workflows across banking, telecom, manufacturing, and other sectors.
The deal was revealed at India’s AI Impact Summit in New Delhi, which hosts executives from major AI companies and Big Tech. Infosys said it will leverage Claude Code to write, test, and debug code and is already deploying the tool internally to build expertise for client solutions.
AI’s Role in Enterprise IT
AI-related services contributed ₹25 billion ($275 million), or 5.5% of Infosys’ total revenue of ₹454.8 billion ($5 billion), in the December quarter. By comparison, Tata Consultancy Services said its AI services generate about $1.8 billion annually, or roughly 6% of revenue.
Anthropic co-founder and CEO Dario Amodei highlighted the challenge of scaling AI for regulated industries. “There’s a big gap between an AI model that works in a demo and one that works in a regulated industry,” he said, noting that Infosys’ domain expertise helps bridge that gap.
India as a Strategic Market
Anthropic opened its first India office in Bengaluru this week, expanding in its second-largest market after the U.S. India now accounts for about 6% of global Claude usage, much of it in programming and enterprise applications.
The partnership aligns with a broader trend among Indian IT firms. Last year, HCLTech partnered with OpenAI to help enterprises deploy AI tools at scale. Infosys did not disclose the financial terms or deployment timeline for Claude-powered AI agents.
This collaboration underscores growing momentum for AI adoption in India’s IT services sector, where enterprise-grade AI agents are increasingly viewed as essential for automating complex, regulated workflows.
