Ghose, who joined the company from Microsoft a month ago, also said that half of its usage is through computers and that six percent of Anthropic’s total calls also come from India. She did not reveal further details about the company’s financial situation during a keynote address to developers in Bengaluru on Monday.
Anthropic said last year it was setting up operations in India by opening an office in Bengaluru, its second global office after Tokyo outside the US. The company, valued at approximately $380 billion, will leverage AI for social impact in sectors such as education, healthcare and agriculture, and support key industries through strategic partnerships with Indian enterprises, non-profits and startups.
This is part of the growing trend of LLM companies setting up operations in India to leverage their talent pool. OpenAI was the first to lead the pack and this move is expected to create a rush for AI talent.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei added that Claude Code, Anthropic’s coding tool for developers, is growing even faster than revenue.
“It’s just incredible to see the speed at which things are happening. It reflects the general progress and explosion in Claude models and coding models. But I think it’s even more extreme in India than we’ve seen in other places around the world,” Amodei said.
At the same time, Ghose warned that as builders of LLMs and AI agents, trust is the most important factor.
“When everything happens with one click on an application, it may look simple at first glance. But there is an invisible filter of trust. As builders, you have to build trust in everything you do. Software doesn’t just execute the code it’s written; it’s thinking, interpreting, and deciding. And when it starts thinking, trust is no longer something you take for granted. It has to be thoughtfully designed to its core and not as an afterthought,” she said.
In six months, Anthropic has translated 10 Indian languages into Claude, including Hindi, Bengali, Marathi and Urdu. Nearly half of Claude’s use in India is for computing and math tasks, such as building applications, modernizing systems and shipping production software.
It has also partnered with companies like Razorpay, Cognizant, Air India and Karya. Anthropic is working with Karya and the Collective Intelligence Project to build assessments that test performance on locally relevant tasks in domains such as agriculture and law, in collaboration with domain experts from Indian non-profits including Digital Green and Adalat AI.
