# Anthropic opens Bengaluru office and announces new partnerships across India

# Claim

India is the second-largest market for Claude.ai , home to a developer community doing some of the most technically intense AI work we see anywhere. Nearly half of Claude usage in India comprises computer and mathematical tasks: building applications, modernizing systems, and shipping production software. Today, as we officially open our Bengaluru office.

# Relevance

Appendix III, section one: model and benchmark capability evidence

# Oracle Verdict

This belongs in the register because benchmark and model-release claims set the ceiling for the next wave of deployment stories. The labour-market effect is indirect today, but it becomes direct when these gains are packaged into agents, APIs, and enterprise tools.
