Anthropic Revenue Surges in India

Anthropic’s revenue run-rate in India has doubled within just four months, highlighting the rapid adoption of its Claude AI coding tools across the country.

CEO Dario Amodei revealed the growth at the company’s Builder Summit in Bengaluru, where Anthropic also officially opened its local office. India has now become the company’s second-largest market after the United States.

The surge is driven largely by enterprise demand, with developers and companies increasingly adopting Claude Code and Claude Cowork to automate professional workflows and accelerate software development.

Major organizations such as Air India are already using Claude Code to modernize operations, while firms like Cognizant are applying it to upgrade legacy systems.

Anthropic also announced partnerships with Indian startups in sectors including healthcare, legal services, education and agriculture.

The strong uptake comes amid broader concerns that fast-growing AI tools could disrupt India’s $283 billion IT services industry.

India AI Summit Opening Hit by Chaos

India’s AI Impact Summit in New Delhi began under heavy criticism after attendees reported long queues, overcrowding and organizational confusion at the venue.

Delegates said unclear instructions forced many to scramble for belongings after sections of the exhibition hall were suddenly cleared for security checks ahead of high-level arrivals.

Some speakers scheduled for upcoming panels were still awaiting confirmation of sessions, while journalists struggled with entry procedures due to confusion between digital QR codes and physical access passes.

With around 250,000 visitors expected, poor signage and limited seating reportedly added to the disorder, preventing some participants from accessing sessions.

The summit is being positioned by Indian authorities as a global platform for developing nations to shape the future of AI governance.

However, the disorganization risked overshadowing the country’s broader message about its ambitions to become a major player in the artificial intelligence landscape.

Spain’s First Private 5G Satellite Mission

Spanish satellite startup Sateliot and space engineering firm PLD Space have agreed to launch two 5G satellites in what will become the first fully private space mission carried out exclusively by Spanish companies.

Under the agreement, the two satellites will be placed into low Earth orbit by 2027 using PLD Space’s Miura-5 rocket, a partially reusable launch system designed for commercial missions.

The partnership comes as European nations aim to strengthen their own space capabilities and reduce reliance on foreign providers in the rapidly expanding satellite communications sector.

Sateliot is working toward building a large satellite network and plans to deploy up to 100 satellites by 2028 as part of its long-term strategy to deliver global 5G connectivity from space.

The mission is also expected to support Europe’s ambitions for technological independence while expanding secure telecommunications infrastructure.

PLD Space, which achieved Europe’s first fully private rocket launch in 2023, continues positioning itself as a future competitor in the global commercial launch market.
