Anthropic Ramps Up Enterprise Push With Deloitte Rollout, IBM Partnership and Bengaluru Office Plan

The moves mark a turn from model releases to large-scale deployment, guided by safety tooling plus fresh capital.

Overview

  • Deloitte will provide access to Claude for more than 470,000 employees in over 150 countries, deploying role-specific personas and a Claude Center of Excellence for training and support.
  • IBM is integrating Claude into a new AI-first integrated development environment now in private preview, with over 6,000 IBM early adopters reporting average productivity gains of about 45 percent.
  • Beyond the IDE, IBM and Anthropic published an enterprise agent guide aligned to the Model Context Protocol, and IBM plans further product integrations while contributing reference assets and tooling to the MCP community.
  • Anthropic confirmed its first India office will open in Bengaluru in early 2026, its second Asia-Pacific site after Tokyo, with CEO Dario Amodei in India this week to meet public officials and enterprise partners.
  • TechCrunch reports Amodei is expected to meet Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani to discuss a potential partnership to expand Claude’s reach in India, a development not yet confirmed by the companies.
