Indian enterprises and government organisations will soon have a new option to process Claude AI models locally, as Anthropic prepares to bring in-country inference to India through Amazon Bedrock in the coming weeks.
The move is aimed at organisations that need data to remain within India, particularly banks, insurers and public and government agencies operating in highly regulated sectors. Anthropic said India is one of its largest Claude markets, with a developer community working on some of the most technically complex AI projects globally.
“Bringing Claude inference to India is a turning point for enterprise AI in this country,” said Irina Ghose, managing director, India, Anthropic.
“India’s banks, insurers, telecom companies, and public and government agencies steward the data of a billion people. When that data can stay in India, AI moves from pilots into the systems that matter most. Adding in-country inference marks a significant step forward in what we are building here — a growing local team, strong performance in Indian languages, and partnerships that put this technology to work for India,” she added.
Anthropic said Claude deployments through Amazon Bedrock will also provide audit trails and access controls required by risk and compliance teams before AI systems are moved into production.
“India is at an inflection point in its AI journey, and institutions from banks to government agencies are ready to harness frontier AI at scale,” said Sandeep Dutta, president, AWS India and South Asia. “With Anthropic’s Claude now available for in-country inference through Amazon Bedrock, they can deploy it on the same trusted infrastructure they already run their most critical workloads on, unlocking new possibilities in citizen services and digital transformation.”
Anthropic has expanded its India presence since opening its Bengaluru office in February 2026. Companies using Claude include Axis Bank for engineering and employee productivity, NPCI for its AiNxt agentic AI platform, IndusInd Bank for an AI-enabled enterprise knowledge platform and Godrej Industries for app development, business analysis and everyday knowledge work.
India is also becoming an important part of Anthropic’s partner ecosystem. After the Claude Partner Network launched globally in March 2026, India recorded some of the highest registration numbers. Indian partners now feature across Global Premier, Preferred and Select tiers.
This week, Anthropic is conducting its first Claude Certification for Partners in Bengaluru, with a target of certifying 5,000 people across its partner network.
