On February 17, 2026, Anthropic and Infosys, the Bengaluru-headquartered leader in next-generation digital services and consulting, announced a partnership to develop and deploy enterprise AI solutions across telecommunications, financial services, manufacturing, and software development.
The collaboration pairs Anthropic’s Claude family of models and Claude Code with Infosys Topaz — an AI-first set of services, solutions, and platforms that leverage generative and agentic AI technologies. The stated aim is to accelerate software development and enable regulated industries to adopt AI with the governance and transparency those sectors require.
Claude usage in India
Anthropic noted that India is the second-largest market for Claude.ai. According to the announcement, nearly half of Claude usage in India involves building applications, modernizing systems, and shipping production software. Infosys is among the first partners in Anthropic’s expanded presence in India.
Executive comments
Dario Amodei, CEO and Co‑founder of Anthropic, said: “There’s a big gap between an AI model that works in a demo and one that works in a regulated industry—and if you want to close that gap, you need domain expertise. Infosys has exactly that kind of expertise across important industries: telecom, financial services, and manufacturing. Their developers are already using Claude Code to accelerate their work and to create AI agents for industries that demand precision, compliance, and deep domain knowledge.”
Salil Parekh, Chief Executive Officer of Infosys, commented that AI is redefining how industries operate and innovate. He described the collaboration as a strategic step toward advancing enterprise AI so organizations can become more intelligent, resilient, and responsible, citing use cases from risk management and compliance in financial services to AI-driven design and manufacturing in engineering businesses.
Agentic AI and legacy modernization
A central focus of the partnership is agentic AI — systems that go beyond answering questions to autonomously handle multi-step tasks such as processing claims, generating and testing code, or managing compliance reviews. Using tools like the Claude Agent SDK, Anthropic and Infosys will help clients build AI agents that can persistently work across long, complex tasks and processes.
The collaboration also targets modernization of legacy systems. By combining Infosys Topaz with Claude, the partners say they will make migrations faster and reduce the cost of updating aging infrastructure.
Industry-specific applications
- Telecommunications: AI agents are intended to help carriers modernize network operations, simplify customer lifecycle management, and improve service delivery in a highly operational and regulated sector.
- Financial services: AI agents will support faster risk detection and assessment, automate compliance reporting, and enable more personalized customer interactions, for example tailoring financial advice using a client’s full account history and prevailing market conditions.
- Manufacturing and engineering: Claude is expected to accelerate product design and simulation, shortening R&D timelines and allowing engineers to test more iterations prior to production.
- Software development: Teams will use Claude Code to write, test, and debug code, helping move projects from design to production more quickly.
- Enterprise operations: Claude Cowork will assist teams in automating routine tasks such as document summarization, status reporting, and review cycles.
Getting started
The announcement directs interested organizations to Anthropic’s Enterprise page for more information about Claude, and notes that Claude is available as a frontier model on Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud Vertex AI, and Microsoft Azure. It also references Anthropic’s expanded presence in India and the partnership with Infosys.
The press release does not provide a detailed rollout schedule or financial terms; the emphasis is on technological integration, industry-specific AI agents, and legacy modernization.
Conclusion
Anthropic’s partnership with Infosys aims to produce agentic AI solutions tailored to the governance, transparency and operational needs of regulated industries, combining Claude’s models and tools with Infosys Topaz and domain expertise to support production-ready AI deployments.
