The partnership will begin with the telecommunications sector. Infosys will set up a dedicated Anthropic Center of Excellence. This centre will build AI agents designed for telecom operations and business processes. The collaboration will later expand to other industries.

At the core of the partnership is the integration of Anthropic’s Claude AI models, including Claude Code, with Infosys Topaz AI platform.

The partnership gives Infosys access to advanced AI models and tools. This will strengthen its ability to deliver AI-based transformation services to global clients.

Infosys said it will be able to offer AI agents that can perform complex and multi-step tasks independently. These include claims processing, compliance monitoring, coding, and testing. This will help Infosys move beyond traditional IT services and offer higher-value AI-based services.

The collaboration will deliver industry-specific AI applications across multiple sectors. In telecommunications, AI agents will help carriers modernize network operations, streamline customer lifecycle management, and improve service delivery.

In financial services, AI agents will help firms detect and assess risks faster, automate compliance reporting, and provide more personalized customer interactions based on client history and market conditions.

In manufacturing and engineering, Claude will help accelerate product design and simulation, enabling engineers to test more product iterations and reduce research and development timelines.

In software development, teams will use Claude Code to write, test, and debug code, helping developers move faster from design to production.
Infosys is already deploying Claude Code within its Exponential Engineering organization to build internal expertise and best practices, which will support future client engagements.

What management says

Dario Amodei, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, 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."

Salil Parekh, Chief Executive Officer, Infosys, said, "Our collaboration with Anthropic marks a strategic leap toward advancing enterprise AI, enabling organizations to unlock value and become more intelligent, resilient, and responsible. From modernizing financial services with intelligent risk management and compliance, to enabling engineering businesses to lead with AI-driven design and manufacturing, the goal is to leverage the joint expertise of Infosys and Anthropic to accelerate AI value realization for global enterprises."
