Bengaluru-based IT giant Infosys has announced a collaboration with Anthropic to develop and deploy advanced enterprise AI solutions across telecom, financial services, manufacturing, and software development. The partnership will kick off in telecom with the launch of Anthropic Center of Excellence, before expanding to more complex industries.
Anthropic also launched operations at its Bengaluru office on Monday, expanding its second-largest market for Claude, its AI assistant.
Why it matters: Abu Dhabi’s AI investor MGX was among several co-leading a USD 30 bn Series G funding round for Anthropic just last week, making MGX a backer of three major AI rivals: OpenAI, xAI, and Anthropic.
At its core: The partnership will integrate Anthropic’s Claude models, including Claude Code, with Infosys’s flagship AI-first solutions platform Topaz to help enterprises automate workflows, improve software delivery, and adopt AI with stronger governance and transparency.
Why Infosys? Anthropic’s CEO Dario Amodei said Infosys’ domain expertise helps bridge the gap between AI demos and production use, while Infosys CEO Salil Parekh called the tie-up a step toward responsible, large-scale enterprise AI adoption.
Enterprise adoption picks up in India: Air India is using Claude Code to accelerate custom software development and deploy agentic AI across its operations. Startups such as Bengaluru-based fintech platform Razorpay and customer analytics platform Enterpret are integrating Claude into their risk systems and AI assistants.
Timing counts amid global AI volatility: Amodei’s India visit comes as global markets grapple with fears of disruption from advanced AI agents automating white-collar work, a selloff that has hit India’s USD 300 bn IT services sector particularly hard. At the same time, investor scrutiny is rising over whether massive data center spending by big tech will outpace AI adoption. Against that backdrop, Anthropic is doubling down on enterprise-led deployment in India, where local-language use cases are driving rapid uptake.
