BENGALURU, Jan 16 - Artificial intelligence startup Anthropic has appointed former Microsoft ​executive Irina Ghose as its ‌managing director for India, the company said ‌on Friday.

Ghose served as managing director for Microsoft's India business, a role she held for two years before ⁠leaving the ‌company in December 2025, following a 24-year career at ‍the U.S. tech major.

Anthropic, which is backed by Alphabet's Google and Amazon, is set ​to open its first India ‌office in Bengaluru in early 2026. The country is currently the second-largest market for the company's AI chatbot Claude, with usage primarily focused ⁠on technical applications such ​as programming.

India, home ​to more than a billion internet users, has become a ‍hotly contested ⁠arena for global tech players as enterprise and consumer usage of ⁠AI ramps up in the country.
