Anthropic launches in-country Claude inference in India via Amazon Bedrock
Anthropic announced that its Claude models – Opus 5, Sonnet 5 and Haiku 4.5 – can now be run on servers located in India through the Amazon Bedrock India endpoint. The move satisfies data‑residency, audit and access‑control requirements that many regulated enterprises consider a prerequisite for production AI use.
Key points
- Anthropic now offers Claude Opus 5, Sonnet 5 and Haiku 4.5 inference on servers located in India via Amazon Bedrock.
- Banks and fintechs including Kotak, Axis, IndusInd, NPCI, Reliance and CRED are using the local Claude for engineering and productivity tasks.
- Anthropic expanded its Indian presence with a Bengaluru office, partner certifications and collaborations with TCS, Infosys and other IT services firms.
The rollout follows a private‑preview test with customers such as Reliance Industries, CRED and Mahindra. Banks including Kotak, Axis, IndusInd and the National Payments Corporation of India are already using Claude for engineering, employee productivity and internal AI platforms. Anthropic’s India managing director Irina Ghose said the company will keep expanding its local team and partnerships, while AWS India president Sandeep Dutta highlighted that in‑country inference helps banks and insurers trust AI at scale.
Anthropic has also deepened its Indian ecosystem, opening a Bengaluru office, launching a Claude Partner Network with high registration numbers, and working with large IT services firms such as TCS and Infosys to certify thousands of developers. These steps aim to turn India into a major market for Claude‑driven enterprise workflows beyond chat interfaces.
