Anthropic revenue run rate in India has doubled over the last 4 months: Dario Amodei

At its second largest user base AI company Anthropic, maker of Claude.ai is expanding its India footprint with Bengaluru office to support its growth market. With over 250 developers at the meet held in Bengaluru, CEO Dario Amodei said that the run-rate revenue in India has doubled since October 2025. Pointing at the unmatched technical intensity with which India is using Claude and the ability to build software with AI, efficiency of the market and scale which remains unmatched, “the pure scale allows us to, as long as we're willing to pivot our experiments, allows us to learn things very quickly that you can't do in smaller markets. So the ability for entrepreneurs, for builders, to learn quickly and fail fast here, exceeds what we see in many other places,” Dario said.

While the company will be hiring talent focused on scaling applied AI to enterprise customers and to startups, it has also been working on making Claude fluent in 10 Indian languages. With the unique proposition that India offers, Dario said that anyone building on AI should be thinking way ahead given the pace at which the models are evolving . “I think in building we need to understand that this technology is really going to change the world at a speed, into a degree that we haven't really seen with any other technology before. That sounds hyperbolic, but if we just look at the rate of improvement and the rate of diffusion and adoption, it's really something that doesn't really have any precedent, modern history,” he said.

Claude’s current list of enterprise partnerships includes IT services companies like Accenture, Cognizant and startups like Razorpay, Dario said that areas like medical, healthcare and anything being built that makes the life of people better, AI could be real a real game changer. "I think the things that really are going to have the biggest moats are those that relate to the physical world, or to kind of something real or just something that's not easy to do. A skill set that, not that many people have. I think biology and medicine kind of  fit all those bills,” he said.
