Anthropic’s revenue run-rate in India has doubled in four months, chief executive officer Dario Amodei said on Monday, underscoring the rapid adoption of the AI startup’s Claude coding product in the country.
Anthropic, which announced its India expansion in October 2025 and opened its Bengaluru office on Monday, said the world’s most populous country is the largest market for its Claude AI model after the United States.
“Anthropic’s business run-rate revenue within India has doubled over the last four months, and Claude Code may have even grown faster,” said Amodei at the firm’s Builder Summit in Bengaluru, without disclosing specifics.
The Amazon and Alphabet-backed startup raised $30 billion in a funding round last week that valued the AI firm at $380 billion.
Anthropic has leaned heavily into the enterprise AI market, after Claude Code received strong reception from developers since it was made generally available last May. The company launched Claude Cowork, an AI agent that helps execute computer tasks for white-collar workers, last month.
A plug-in for Claude Cowork released in January to automate tasks triggered a global selloff in software stocks, intensifying concerns that rapid adoption of generative AI could upend India’s $283 billion IT services industry. So far in February, the country’s software exporter stocks have shed more than $47 billion in market cap.

The U.S. has launched two investigations under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 against India and other economies to examine practices that may be ‘unreasonable or discriminatory and burden or restrict U.S. commerce’. One probe examines whether countries, including India, are using excess manufacturing capacity to export to the U.S. in a manner that hurts American businesses, while another looks at whether countries have taken ‘sufficient steps’ to prohibit imports of goods produced with forced labour.
