The newly announced alliance is designed to build and deliver advanced AI solutions for enterprises operating in telecommunications, financial services, manufacturing and software development, according to ET. The first phase of the partnership will concentrate on the telecommunications industry, where a dedicated Anthropic Center of Excellence will be established to create and deploy AI agents built for sector-specific applications. The companies plan to subsequently extend the collaboration to other sectors, including financial services, manufacturing and software development.Focus of the partnership is integration of Anthropic’s Claude models, including Claude Code, with Infosys Topaz AI offerings. The combined platform is aimed towards help organisations automate complex workflows, accelerate software development cycles and adopt AI systems with the governance, oversight and transparency required in regulated industries. “Together, Infosys and Anthropic aim to help clients reimagine the enterprise operating model by combining deep industry expertise, frontier AI, and engineering scale into one unified approach,” Infosys said in a statement. A major area of emphasis will be agentic AI systems capable of independently executing multi-step tasks such as processing claims, generating and testing code, or conducting compliance reviews. Using tools such as the Claude Agent SDK, the collaboration will support the creation of AI agents that can operate persistently across extended and complex processes rather than handling isolated interactions.Salil Parekh, chief executive officer, Infosys, said, “Our collaboration with Anthropic marks a strategic leap toward advancing enterprise AI, enabling organisations to unlock value and become more intelligent, resilient, and responsible. From modernising 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 realisation for global enterprises.” The partnership will also focus on modernising legacy systems. By combining Infosys Topaz with Claude, organisations are expected to speed up migration initiatives and lower the cost of upgrading ageing infrastructure.
