Anthropic brings Claude to Indian AWS servers for local data processing

AI major Anthropic will offer Claude service to Indian customers through Amazon Web Services servers located within the country, the company said on Monday.
The company said that it has been one of the key demands of Indian customers to provide Claude services through local servers.
Anthropic said India is one of the largest markets for Claude, home to a developer community doing some of the most technically complex AI work it sees anywhere.
"A top ask from organizations here has been for options to access Claude locally. In the coming weeks, Claude will be available with in-country inference in India through Amazon Bedrock, AWS's platform for building generative AI applications and agents at production scale, so requests sent through the India endpoint are processed on servers in India," the company said in a statement.
Claude is one of the famous AI platforms like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini.
Anthropic, managing director of India, Irina Ghose, said that bringing Claude inference to India is a turning point for enterprise AI in this country.
"India's banks, insurers, telecoms, 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 said.
Anthropic said that running Claude inference in-country gives Indian organisations the certainty they need to serve customers in highly regulated verticals.
"We are glad to see partners like Anthropic and AWS bringing in-country inference to India. Access to trusted, frontier AI closer to home is a positive step for the ecosystem as we all explore how these technologies can responsibly serve customers," Kotak Bank, managing director and CEO, Ashok Vaswani said.
The In-country inference will also come with supervision to match Claude deployments through Amazon Bedrock, carrying the audit trails and access controls risk and compliance teams require before anything reaches production, the statement said.
India's IT services leaders are putting Claude into what they deliver worldwide..
TCS is equipping 50,000 associates with Claude and building AI talent through TCS iON. Infosys is combining Claude with Infosys Topaz and setting up a dedicated Anthropic Center of Excellence. Cognizant uses Claude across manufacturing, life sciences, insurance, and other client work.
Claude has become one of the key AI platforms for the development of software tools in India.
"When we launched the Claude Partner Network globally in March 2026, India had some of the highest registration numbers anywhere in the world, and a growing number of Indian partners now sit in our Global Premier, Preferred, and Select tiers," Anthropic said.
The company will first hold a Claude Certification for partners this week in Bengaluru where it aims to certify 5,000 people.
