As per the exchange filing, Infosys has announced a strategic collaboration with Anthropic, an AI safety and research company, to develop and deliver advanced enterprise AI solutions to companies across telecommunications, financial services, manufacturing, and software development.

As part of the partnership, the two companies will integrate Anthropic’s Claude models, including Claude Code, with Infosys Topaz AI offerings to help enterprises automate complex workflows, accelerate software delivery, and adopt AI with the governance and transparency that regulated industries require.

The collaboration reflects a shared commitment to ensuring AI drives real transformational value, not just efficiency gains. Together, the companies aim to help clients reimagine the enterprise operating model by combining deep industry expertise, frontier AI, and engineering scale into one unified approach.

AI Agents Tailored To Industry-Specific Operations

A dedicated Anthropic Center of Excellence to build and deploy AI agents tailored to industry-specific operations will also be launched.

Telecommunications

AI agents will help carriers

  • modernize network operations,
  • streamline customer lifecycle management,
  • and improve service delivery.

Financial Services

AI agents will help firms

  • detect and assess risk faster,
  • automate compliance reporting,
  • and deliver more personalized customer interactions – such as tailoring financial advice based on a client’s full account history and market conditions.

Manufacturing And Engineering

Claude will help accelerate product design and simulation, reducing R&D timelines and enabling engineers to test more iterations before production.

Software Development

Teams can use Claude Code to write, test, and debug code – helping developers move faster from design through production.

Agentic AI

Agentic AI will be a core focus of this collaboration. These systems go beyond answering questions to independently handling multi-step tasks like processing claims, generating and testing code, or managing compliance reviews. 

Using tools like the Claude Agent SDK, Infosys and Anthropic will help clients build AI agents that can work persistently across long, complex processes rather than one-off interactions, as per the press release. Moreover, it will help organizations modernize legacy systems, combining Infosys Topaz and Claude to accelerate migration and reduce the cost of updating aging infrastructure.
