Prime Minister Narendra Modi has met Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic, a company dealing in safe AI systems. The company also plans to open an office in Bengaluru next year. The company aims to recruit local talent and collaborate with Indian businesses, startups, and nonprofit organizations to leverage AI across critical sectors such as education, agriculture, and healthcare, focusing on solutions that are both innovative and socially responsible.
“Bengaluru will serve as our second office in Asia Pacific after Tokyo, which will open in the coming months. This expansion will help us serve India’s rapidly growing AI ecosystem and reflects the increasing international demand we’re seeing for Claude,” according to the company.
“Today I met with PM @narendramodi to discuss Anthropic's expansion to India—where Claude Code use is up 5× since June. How India deploys AI across critical sectors like education, healthcare, and agriculture for over a billion people will be essential in shaping the future of AI,” Amodei posted on X.
In response, PM Modi said in a post on X that the country looks forward to working together to harness AI for growth across key sectors.
Earlier, Amodei said he met Prime Minister Modi to discuss Anthropic's expansion to India, where the use of its product 'Claude Code' has witnessed a five-fold increase since June.
“India is compelling because of the scale of its technical talent and the commitment from the Indian government to ensure the benefits of artificial intelligence reach all areas of society, not just concentrated pockets,” said Amodei in a statement.
