Anthropic, the artificial intelligence company behind Claude, has opened a new office in Bengaluru, expanding its footprint across India as it works to improve language capabilities and strengthen local partnerships across sectors.
According to the company’s announcement, India’s linguistic diversity presents a persistent challenge for large AI models. More than a billion people throughout the country speak one of over a dozen widely used languages, many of which are underrepresented in global training datasets. With its new Bengaluru presence, Anthropic said it aims to close that gap by developing more representative training data in Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Punjabi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam and Urdu.
Anthropic also reported that its run-rate revenue in India has doubled since October 2025, reflecting increased adoption of its tools. The company expects its Bengaluru team to provide technical and applied AI support to partners seeking to build and scale products using Claude.
The Bengaluru office is Anthropic’s second location in Asia, after Tokyo, and will be led by Irina Ghose.
In a statement, Ghose said India’s depth of technical talent, expanding digital infrastructure and record of deploying technology at scale make it well positioned to shape how advanced AI systems are developed and used.
