New Delhi, February 17: Infosys on Tuesday announced a strategic partnership with US-based AI firm Anthropic to co-develop and deploy advanced enterprise AI solutions across telecommunications, financial services, manufacturing, and software development.
The collaboration brings together Infosys Topaz and Anthropic’s Claude models, including Claude Code, to automate complex workflows, accelerate software delivery, and build agentic AI systems tailored to industry-specific needs.
Telecom Sector to Lead Rollout with Dedicated AI Centre of Excellence
The partnership will begin with a focused push in the telecommunications sector. A dedicated Anthropic Center of Excellence will be established to design and deploy AI agents customised for telecom operations.These AI agents are expected to support industry-specific processes and operational workflows, with the collaboration later expanding into financial services, manufacturing, and software development.
AI Agents to Drive Risk Detection and Compliance in Financial Services
In the financial services segment, the joint AI solutions will focus on intelligent risk detection, automated compliance reporting, and personalised customer interactions.The companies aim to deploy AI agents capable of independently handling multi-step processes such as compliance reviews and claims processing, moving beyond basic query-response systems to more advanced operational automation.
Accelerating Product Design and Engineering in Manufacturing
In manufacturing and engineering, Claude models will be used to support faster product design and simulation cycles. The integration is expected to reduce research and development timelines by enabling engineers to test more design iterations before production.This approach is designed to improve efficiency across engineering workflows while supporting innovation-led manufacturing processes.
Enhancing Software Development with Claude Code
Within the software development ecosystem, teams will leverage Claude Code to write, test, and debug applications. The integration aims to help developers transition more quickly from design to production by streamlining coding and validation processes.By combining engineering scale with AI capabilities, the partnership seeks to modernise enterprise software development lifecycles.
Focus on Agentic AI for Complex Enterprise Operations
A core pillar of the collaboration is agentic AI, which refers to systems capable of independently managing long and complex processes rather than delivering one-time responses.Using tools such as the Claude Agent SDK, Infosys and Anthropic will enable enterprises to build AI agents that persist across extended workflows, including claims processing, compliance management, and automated code generation and testing.
Dario Amodei, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Anthropic, said there is a significant gap between AI models demonstrated in controlled environments and those deployed in regulated industries, highlighting the importance of domain expertise in bridging that divide.
Salil Parekh, Chief Executive Officer of Infosys, stated that the partnership aims to modernise financial services with intelligent risk and compliance systems while enabling engineering businesses to advance AI-driven design and manufacturing.
AI Impact Summit Enters Day Two
The announcement comes as the India AI Impact Summit entered its second day on Tuesday. The event, one of the largest artificial intelligence gatherings in the Global South, has brought together global leaders, policymakers, industry executives, researchers, and innovators to discuss the evolving role of AI across sectors.The Infosys and Anthropic partnership signals a broader push to embed advanced AI models into enterprise operations, with a strong emphasis on regulated and industry-critical environments.
