San Francisco based artificial intelligence company Anthropic has appointed Amlan Mohanty to lead its policy initiatives in India, marking a strategic step in strengthening its presence in one of the world’s fastest growing and most influential artificial intelligence markets.
Mohanty shared the announcement through a detailed LinkedIn post, outlining his vision for India’s role in global AI development and emphasizing the importance of responsible innovation, safety frameworks, and multi stakeholder collaboration.
Joining Anthropic with a Safety First AI Vision
In his post, Mohanty expressed enthusiasm about joining the company, stating that he is “thrilled to be joining Anthropic to lead policy in India.”
He highlighted his respect for Anthropic’s research driven and safety focused approach to building advanced AI systems. According to him, the company’s culture stands out for being mission driven, intellectually honest, and capable of delivering high quality products at rapid speed while maintaining strong ethical considerations.
He also noted that spending time inside a frontier AI lab has further reinforced his belief in both the transformative potential of artificial intelligence and the need to carefully manage its risks.
India Positioned as a Global AI Powerhouse
Mohanty emphasized that India will play a critical role in shaping the future of artificial intelligence, calling it a uniquely important market due to its scale, diversity, and long term innovation potential.
He noted that solutions built and tested in India could be scaled globally, positioning the country not just as a consumer market but as a foundational contributor to AI innovation and policy development worldwide.
This perspective aligns with Anthropic’s broader view that India is central to global AI evolution and experimentation.
Building Policy Frameworks and Strategic Partnerships
As part of his new role, Mohanty will focus on establishing Anthropic’s early policy presence in India and building trusted relationships across government institutions, industry stakeholders, and civil society organizations.
His mandate will include contributing to discussions around AI governance, responsible deployment, and regulatory engagement as artificial intelligence adoption accelerates across sectors including enterprise, education, and digital services.
India Emerging as Key Market for Claude.ai
Anthropic has identified India as its second largest market for Claude.ai, its AI assistant platform. The company has also highlighted the country’s developer ecosystem as one of the most technically advanced and innovation driven communities working on artificial intelligence globally.
This growing adoption underscores India’s increasing relevance in shaping real world use cases and enterprise deployment of frontier AI systems.
Expanding Global AI Policy Focus
The appointment comes at a time when leading AI companies are rapidly expanding their policy and governance teams across major markets, particularly in regions where regulation, innovation, and adoption are evolving simultaneously.
With Mohanty taking on the India leadership role, Anthropic is expected to deepen its engagement with policymakers and industry leaders, further strengthening its positioning as a safety first AI company focused on responsible scaling and global collaboration.
