Anthropic to Set up India Office in Bengaluru, Explores Partnership with Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries: Report

Anthropic plans Bengaluru office to boost AI developer ecosystem and explore a strategic partnership with Reliance, as India ranks second in Claude AI usage with 767,000 installs in September.

  • On Tuesday, Anthropic said it will open its first India office in Bengaluru, beginning operations early 2026, with co‑founder and CEO Dario Amodei announcing the office on Thursday.
  • India accounts for over 7% of global Claude usage, and Claude downloads jumped 48% to about 767,000 this year, with coding making up more than half of activity.
  • Sources say Anthropic is in talks with Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries, and Dario Amodei will meet him in Mumbai later this week to explore a partnership.
  • The Bengaluru office will focus on developers and startups, centring on three pillars: empowering startups, deploying AI for education, healthcare and agriculture, and partnering with government bodies and nonprofits.
  • After raising $13 billion last month, Anthropic reached a $183 billion valuation but faces stiff competition from OpenAI, Google's Gemini, Perplexity and legal challenges including a Reddit lawsuit.
