**Anthropic to Open First India Office Amidst Growing AI Appetite**

**Bengaluru, India – October 8, 2025** – Anthropic, the $183 billion AI startup backed by Alphabet’s Google and Amazon.com, announced today its plans to open its first office in India in early 2026. The move signifies the company’s intent to capitalize on the rapidly expanding Indian market for artificial intelligence tools.

India has emerged as Anthropic’s second-largest market for consumer use of its large language model, Claude, which competes directly with OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Claude has distinguished itself with impressive coding capabilities.

“India presents a significant opportunity for Anthropic,” stated the company in a press release. “We are excited to establish a presence here and contribute to the burgeoning AI ecosystem.”

Anthropic’s co-founder and CEO, Dario Amodei, is scheduled to visit India this week to engage with public officials and corporate partners, solidifying the company’s commitment to the region.

The new office will be located in Bengaluru, a prominent technology hub in India. It will be Anthropic’s second office in the Asia Pacific region, following its Tokyo location.

This announcement comes on the heels of OpenAI’s recent formal registration in India and plans to open its first India office in New Delhi later this year. However, Anthropic will face stiff competition from Google’s Gemini and AI startup Perplexity, who have both launched plans in the market.
