Global Expansion Strategy
On September 26, 2025, Anthropic announced plans to triple its international workforce and expand its applied AI team fivefold this year. This growth is driven by the soaring demand for Claude across global markets. The company’s customer base has grown from fewer than 1,000 two years ago to over 300,000 today, while its revenue run-rate surged from $87 million in early 2024 to over $5 billion by August 2025.
To lead its expansion, Anthropic appointed Chris Ciauri, a former Google and Salesforce executive, as Managing Director of International, joining a strong leadership team that includes Paul Smith (Chief Commercial Officer) and regional heads across EMEA, Japan, and the Americas.
India’s Role in Anthropic’s Growth
- India has emerged as Claude’s largest market outside the United States, accounting for 7.2% of global usage. However, per-capita usage remains relatively low at 0.27 times relative to the working-age population
- Coding tasks dominate usage in India, making up over half of all Claude activity, compared to a global average of one-third
- Anthropic introduced Claude to Indian users in October 2023, followed by mobile app launches in 2024
- The company is currently seeking a Country Lead for India, alongside similar leadership hires in Australia, New Zealand, Korea, and Singapore
