Infosys on Tuesday announced a strategic collaboration with US-based artificial intelligence company Anthropic to develop and deploy advanced enterprise AI solutions across sectors, including telecommunications, financial services, manufacturing, and software development.
At the core of the partnership is the integration of Anthropic’s Claude family of models, including Claude Code, with Infosys Topaz AI offerings.
The collaboration aims to help enterprises automate complex workflows, accelerate software delivery, and adopt AI systems with governance and transparency suited to regulated environments.
Infosys said the partnership will begin in the telecommunications sector with the launch of a dedicated Anthropic Centre of Excellence. The centre will focus on building and deploying AI agents tailored to industry-specific operations before the collaboration expands into other regulated sectors.
A key area of focus will be agentic AI, which refers to systems capable of independently handling multi-step tasks such as claims processing, compliance reviews, and code generation and testing. Using tools including the Claude Agent SDK, the two companies plan to enable AI agents that can operate persistently across long and complex processes.
The partnership will also support the modernisation of legacy systems. Infosys said combining Topaz and Claude will help accelerate system migration and reduce infrastructure upgrade costs.
In telecommunications, AI agents will be used to modernise network operations, streamline customer lifecycle management, and improve service delivery. In financial services, AI systems are expected to speed up risk detection and assessment, automate compliance reporting, and enable more personalised customer interactions. In manufacturing and engineering, Claude-powered capabilities will be used to accelerate product design and simulation, helping reduce research and development timelines. Software development teams will use Claude Code to write, test, and debug code faster.
Anthropic Chief Executive Officer and co-founder Dario Amodei said there is a significant gap between AI models that work in demonstrations and those that function effectively in regulated industries, adding that Infosys brings deep domain expertise across critical sectors.
Infosys Chief Executive Officer Salil Parekh said the collaboration is a strategic step toward advancing enterprise AI and enabling organisations to become more intelligent, resilient, and responsible.
