Irina brings over thirty years of experience in scaling technology companies. Her career includes leadership roles in sales, business solutions, education and go-to-market strategy, with a consistent focus on using technology to drive meaningful business and social impact.
“India has a real opportunity to shape how AI is built and deployed at scale,” Ghose said. “Indian organizations are moving beyond experimentation and towards applied AI, where trust, security and long-term impact are as important as innovation. Anthropic’s mission resonates with my belief that technology should empower people, expand access and create lasting value across India’s diverse languages and communities.”
India is the second largest market for Claude.ai usage globally. Anthropic’s latest economic index shows that Indian users are focusing on tech applications, with almost half of all Claude.ai usage focused on computing and math tasks.
“Irina’s expertise in scaling technology companies and driving business transformation makes her the ideal leader as we expand,” said Chris Ciauri, Managing Director of International, Anthropic. “As we grow our teams and deepen engagement across India’s public and private sectors, Irina will ensure our approach is based on local insight and aligned with our mission.”
The company also announced that Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and several senior executives will travel to India in February to officially open Anthropic’s office in Bengaluru and participate in the India AI Impact Summit and surrounding events. During the summit, Anthropic executives will engage with global leaders to advance responsible AI development that prioritizes security, global access and meaningful impact for humanity.
Anthropic’s growing team in India will enable the company to deepen its engagement with policymakers and academic institutions, strengthen relationships with enterprises, and build partnerships with developers and organizations using AI to address local challenges.
