Anthropic Claude Brings In-Country Inference to India via Amazon Bedrock for Local Data Processing

Anthropic Claude: Anthropic taps Amazon Bedrock for Claude's local data processing

Anthropic will soon offer in-country inference for its Claude AI models in India. This means customer requests will be processed on Indian servers, keeping data within the region. The service will be available through Amazon Bedrock, enhancing data residency for Indian organizations. This move addresses a key request from Indian businesses for local AI processing capabilities. It allows regulated sectors like banking and government to confidently deploy advanced AI solutions. Anthropic will offer in-country inference within India, where Claude requests will be processed on Indian servers, allowing data to reside within the region in the coming weeks, the company said on August 3. Claude will be made available with in-country inference through Amazon Bedrock, an Amazon Web Services platform for building generative AI applications. "Requests sent to Claude through the India endpoint will be processed on servers in India," the company said in a statement. Both OpenAI and Google offer local data processing in the country. India is one of the largest markets for the company. This comes on the back of key requests from organizations in India to access Claude locally, the company said. In-country inference refers to the running of Anthropic's Claude models on Indian servers, allowing the data to reside within the country. This gives Indian organizations the certainty they need to serve customers in highly regulated verticals such as banking, insurance, and public and government agencies. "For these entities, that control is the difference between evaluating AI and deploying it across their full organization," the company said. In addition, Claude deployments through Amazon Bedrock carry the audit trails and access controls that risk and compliance teams require before anything reaches production. "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," said Irina Ghose, Managing Director, India, Anthropic, in a statement. The company is also expanding its team and partnerships in the country. Since opening its office in Bengaluru in February, the company said its India team has grown across enterprises, digital natives, and startups. Its clients include enterprises such as Axis Bank, Godrej Industries, and TCS, and digital natives and startups including Swiggy, Zoho, InVideo, Rocket, and Atlan. It is also working with organizations such as the Data Security Council of India (DSCI), and open-source platforms such as MOSIP and OpenG2P, which are using Claude to help test vulnerabilities and exploits early.

Building on momentum across India In February, we officially opened our Bengaluru office -- in the months since, our India team has grown significantly, providing applied AI expertise to enterprises, digital natives, and startups building on Claude. Some of the largest enterprises are deploying Claude across their organizations. Axis Bank leverages Claude to drive engineering excellence and employee productivity; NPCI is building AiNxt, its agentic AI platform, with Claude - bringing secure, governed AI to enterprise scale; IndusInd Bank is building an AI-enabled enterprise knowledge platform with Claude to give employees trusted information and sharpen decision-making; and at Godrej Industries, Claude runs across internal app development, business analysis, and everyday knowledge work. 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; and LTM & LTTS are embedding Claude and Claude Code into LTM's BlueVerse™ AI Delivery Fabric and LTTS's engineering intelligence platforms. Digital natives are embedding Claude into everyday products too: Swiggy has made flagship services reachable through MCP, with Instamart now the first quick-commerce service where customers can browse and buy more than 40,000 products by natural-language prompt, and Zoho helps customers make more intelligent decisions with Claude models. Among startups, Rocket lets non-technical teams launch production-grade apps in a fraction of the usual time, Atlan's Claude Code plugin lets data teams govern their data estate in natural language, and Freshworks runs Claude Code across engineering to ship faster. Scaling with partners in India Partners who pair deep domain knowledge with technical skill are central to how we build 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. This week, in Bengaluru, we are holding our first Claude Certification for Partners, aiming to certify 5,000 people across a network that, we believe, will deliver AI for India and the world. Advancing beneficial deployments Today, we work with organizations tackling some of India's toughest problems. Many of the partnerships with the greatest public-impact potential, with state governments, public health programs, and agencies that serve citizens directly, involve exactly the kind of personal data that cannot leave the country, which is why in-country inference opens the door to deeper work here. Our AI for Science program provides free API credits to researchers across India, including Kartik Sunagar's Evolutionary Venomics Lab at the Indian Institute of Science, which uses Claude to find antivenom targets for a problem killing an estimated 58,000 people a year, and PopVax, which uses Claude to design vaccine proteins for its tuberculosis, hepatitis C, and Strep A programs. Beyond the sciences, Pratham has integrated Claude into its Teaching at the Right Level program, sending government teachers a nightly nudge and a chatbot now piloting in 50 villages in Chhattisgarh, and Digital Green uses Claude to verify the farming advice its FarmerChat gave more than a million farmers in six languages last year. Supporting cyber defenders As attackers use AI to find and exploit vulnerabilities faster than ever, Indian defenders are moving just as fast with Claude, finding and patching those weaknesses first to raise the security baseline for everyone. The Data Security Council of India runs a Claude-powered testing sandbox giving members across critical sectors a shared environment to test codebases and supply chains. Open-source infrastructure, often maintained by small teams where vulnerabilities can go undetected for years, is getting Claude's help too: MOSIP, the platform underpinning national digital ID systems for more than 200 million people, and OpenG2P, which delivers citizen benefits globally, have each made Claude integral to how code enters their platforms. Delivering on our voluntary commitments Six months after signing the New Delhi Frontier AI Impact Commitments, we are making steady progress, including a company-wide effort to improve Claude's performance in India's most widely spoken languages. Our partnership with Karya is central to this: in a pilot earlier this year, Karya worked with native speakers and domain experts to evaluate Claude models across Indian languages in agriculture use cases, showing how community feedback can catch issues automated evaluations miss. We will build on these findings to improve our models across the languages and contexts that matter for India.
