When the US was tightening H-1B rules and making it harder for Indians to move there, American tech firms were quietly doing the opposite—moving here instead. What started as outsourcing decades ago has now turned into something bigger. India is fast becoming ground zero for American AI companies. OpenAI, Anthropic and Perplexity AI, following ElevenLabs’ moves to India, are planning to set up offices here. These companies are drawn not just by the market, but also by India’s deep pool of engineers, researchers and developers. So, What’s Been Happening? Anthropic has chosen Bengaluru for its India office, which is expected to open in early 2026. CEO Dario Amodei is currently in India, meeting government officials, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as part of the company’s regional expansion. He’s also reportedly in talks with Reliance Industries and attending a dinner hosted by Infosys chairman Nandan Nilekani. Over the weekend, Anthropic hosted its first developer event in Bengaluru with Accel. The invite-only AI Dev Day gathered CTOs, founders and product heads to explore its newly launched Claude Sonnet 4.5. OpenAI is setting up shop too, choosing Delhi for its India office. The focus, however, is different. Unlike Anthropic, which is investing in R&D, OpenAI’s office will handle government relations and enterprise sales. The company has already started localising its product strategy—introducing ChatGPT Go, an India-only plan at ₹399 per month, improving Indic language support in GPT-5, and launching an education partnership with IIT Madras and AICTE to bring ChatGPT into classrooms. |
