Anthropic Opens New Office in Bengaluru, Eyes Reliance Partnership

Anthropic, co-founded by Dario Amodei, is enhancing its footprint in India by establishing a new office in Bengaluru. The company is considering a partnership with Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries to broaden the reach of its Claude AI assistant in India. As the world's second-largest online market, India represents a key growth area for Anthropic. The Claude app has experienced significant growth in downloads and consumer spending in the region. Amodei's visit to India includes discussions with Reliance executives and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Additionally, AI search startup Perplexity is collaborating with Bharti Airtel to provide services to Airtel customers.

This development highlights Anthropic's strategic expansion in the Indian market.
