AI企業のAnthropicは、インド・ベンガルールに新オフィスを開設し、同国における事業拡大を本格化させると発表した。インドは自社のAIアシスタント「Claude.ai」の第二の市場であり、特に開発者コミュニティによる高度な技術作業が活発に行われている。Claudeのインドでの利用の約半数は、アプリケーション構築やシステム近代化、ソフトウェア開発といったコンピュータ・数学関連のタスクが占めている。
今回の進出に際し、Anthropicは企業、教育、農業など多岐にわたる分野での新たなパートナーシップも公表した。インド担当マネージングディレクターのイリーナ・ゴースは、インドが持つ卓越した技術人材、大規模なデジタルインフラ、技術で人々の生活を改善してきた実績を高く評価し、責任あるAIの恩恵を広く届ける上で世界で最も有望な機会であると述べた。
重要な取り組みの一つが、多言語対応の強化である。インドでは10億以上の人々が十数以上の公用語を使用しているが、AIモデルは英語以外の言語では性能が劣る傾向にある。この格差を縮めるため、Anthropicは6ヶ月前から、ヒンディー語やベンガル語など主要10言語における高品質で代表性のある訓練データの収集に全社的に取り組んできた。その結果、モデルの改善が進み、流暢さの向上を継続している。
さらに、現地の関連団体「Karya」や「Collective Intelligence Project」と連携し、農業や法律といった分野で、地域に密着したタスクにおけるモデル性能を評価する仕組みを構築中だ。この評価プロジェクトには、Digital GreenやAdalat AIといった現地の非営利団体の専門家も参画する。得られた知見は、インドの言語話者や現地のビジネスニーズに応えるための将来モデルの改善に活用され、評価手法自体も公開される予定だ。
ビジネス面では、2025年10月の事業拡大発表以来、インドでの年間収益は倍増しており、大企業からデジタルネイティブ企業、新興スタートアップまで、幅広い顧客層がClaudeを基盤に構築を進めている。これを支援するため、現地チームは各企業のニーズに合わせたClaude活用ソリューションの設計、構築、拡大に関する専門知識を提供していく。
具体例として、エア・インディアは開発効率向上とコスト削減を目的に「Claude Code」を導入し、業務全体でのAIエージェント活用を推進している。また、金融科技企業のCREDは、機能提供の速度を2倍に加速させる成果を上げた。
これらの動きは、Anthropicが単に製品を販売するだけでなく、インドの多様な言語環境への対応を強化し、現地パートナーと密接に連携しながら、産業横断的にAIの利点を浸透させていこうとする深いコミットメントを示している。

AnnouncementsAnthropic opens Bengaluru office and announces new partnerships across India
India is the second-largest market for Claude.ai, home to a developer community doing some of the most technically intense AI work we see anywhere. Nearly half of Claude usage in India comprises computer and mathematical tasks: building applications, modernizing systems, and shipping production software.
Today, as we officially open our Bengaluru office, we’re announcing partnerships across enterprise, education, and agriculture that deepen our commitment to India across a range of sectors.
“India represents one of the world’s most promising opportunities to bring the benefits of responsible AI to vastly more people and enterprises,” said Irina Ghose, Managing Director of India, Anthropic. “Already, it’s home to extraordinary technical talent, digital infrastructure at scale, and a proven track record of using technology to improve people’s lives. That’s exactly the foundation you need to make sure this technology reaches the people who can benefit from it most.”
Building language capabilities for a billion speakers
More than a billion people in India speak one of over a dozen officially recognized languages, but AI models continue to perform better in English than they do in other languages. Six months ago, we launched a company-wide effort to narrow this gap by curating higher-quality, more representative training data in 10 of the most widely spoken languages throughout India: Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Punjabi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, and Urdu. This resulted in improvements to our models, and we continue to work on enhancing their fluency.
Now, Anthropic is working with Karya and the Collective Intelligence Project to build evaluations testing performance on locally relevant tasks across domains like agriculture and law, in partnership with domain experts from leading Indian nonprofits, including Digital Green and Adalat AI. This work will inform how we improve future models for speakers of Indic languages and for use cases important to India and the businesses that use Claude. We intend to make the evaluations publicly available for others to use.
Partnering with enterprises, digital natives, and startups
Our run-rate revenue in India has doubled since we announced our expansion in October 2025, and the range of organizations building on Claude reflects how broadly that growth is distributed—from large enterprises to digital-native companies to startups shipping their first products.
To support this growing customer base, our India team will offer applied AI expertise to enterprise customers, digital natives, and startups, helping them design, build, and scale Claude-powered solutions tailored to their business needs.
Air India is using Claude Code to help developers ship custom software faster and at lower cost, as part of a broader push to use agentic AI across its operations. CRED achieved 2x faster feature delivery and 10% better test coverage with Claude Code. And Cognizant is deploying Claude to 350,000 employees globally to modernize legacy systems, accelerate software development, and support AI adoption among its enterprise clients.
Among India’s startups, the story is similar. At Razorpay, AI is integrated into risk systems, decision-making processes, and operations across the company. Rocket uses Claude to let non-technical teams across enterprises build production-ready apps and websites in minutes and hours rather than weeks. At Enterpret, Claude powers its AI assistant, the engineering team builds with Claude Code daily, and the startup has shipped an MCP integration that brings customer insights directly into Claude. And Emergent, an AI-powered platform that lets anyone build software by describing what they want in plain language, reached $25 million in annual recurring revenue and two million users in under five months, built entirely with Claude.
Reaching students in low-income communities
Educational and instructional tasks make up 12% of Claude.ai use in India. Pratham, one of India’s largest education nonprofits, chose Anthropic as its first strategic AI lab partner because of our shared focus on safety and educational rigor. Their Anytime Testing Machine, powered by Claude, is currently being piloted with 1,500 students across 20 schools, with plans to expand to 100 schools by the end of 2026. Adapted earlier this year for over 5,000 learners in Pratham’s Second Chance program, which supports women who have dropped out of formal schooling, the Anytime Testing Machine aims to create flexible, credible pathways for learning and certification by helping students practice for exams.
Anthropic is collaborating with Central Square Foundation to use EdTech and AI more effectively to educate children from underserved communities. As part of this collaboration, Anthropic will provide technical expertise, mentorship, and API credits to organizations developing AI-enable
