Infosys Announces Strategic Collaboration with Anthropic
Infosys’ jump in share price is fuelled by the company’s announcement of a strategic partnership with Anthropic, an AI safety and research firm. The collaboration aims to develop advanced AI solutions for industries such as telecommunications, financial services, manufacturing, and software development.
The collaboration will initially focus on the telecommunications sector, with the launch of an Anthropic Center of Excellence designed to build and deploy AI agents tailored for the industry. Over time, the partnership will expand to cover other industries, including financial services, manufacturing, and software development.
AI Agents and Transformational Solutions
At the heart of this collaboration is the integration of Anthropic’s Claude models, including Claude Code, with Infosys' Topaz AI offerings. This combination will help enterprises automate complex workflows, accelerate software delivery, and meet the governance and transparency demands of regulated industries.
The primary focus will be on agentic AI—systems that go beyond answering questions to autonomously handle multi-step tasks. These AI agents will manage tasks such as processing claims, generating code, and conducting compliance reviews. Additionally, the collaboration aims to modernise legacy systems, reduce costs, and accelerate digital transformations.
Industry-Specific AI Agents in Action
Infosys and Anthropic are developing customised AI agents for various industries:
Telecommunications: AI agents will help telecom operators modernise network operations, improve customer lifecycle management, and enhance service delivery in this complex and regulated sector.
Financial Services: AI will help financial institutions detect and assess risks, automate compliance reporting, and offer more personalised customer interactions.
Manufacturing: AI will streamline product design and simulation processes, reducing R&D timelines and enabling engineers to test more product iterations before production.
Software Development: Claude Code will assist developers in writing, testing, and debugging code, speeding up the journey from design to production.
Infosys Collaborates with Citizens for AI-Driven Transformation
In addition to its partnership with Anthropic, Infosys recently teamed up with Citizens, a major U.S. financial institution, to support the launch of the bank’s AI-first Innovation Hub in Bengaluru, India. This collaboration aims to advance AI-driven transformation across Citizens' banking operations, product development, and customer experience.
Infosys will leverage its expertise in AI, cloud, and cybersecurity to help Citizens accelerate the delivery of innovative financial products and services. The partnership focuses on AI technologies that improve speed, scalability, and efficiency while streamlining digital services.
