Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) on Thursday announced a global strategic partnership with Anthropic, the company behind AI assistant Claude, to help businesses adopt and deploy artificial intelligence technologies at scale.

In an exchange filing, TCS said it will establish a dedicated business unit focused on developing joint industry solutions, customer offerings and AI expertise around Anthropic's Claude family of models through early access to the technology.

The partnership is aimed at helping enterprises move AI projects beyond the pilot stage by combining Anthropic's AI models with TCS' implementation, governance and industry expertise.

"Enterprise AI value comes from understanding business context, orchestrating complex systems, and applying deep AI engineering talent. By combining Claude with our industry expertise, engineering rigor, and large-scale transformation capabilities, we will help customers move faster to production, especially in industries where trust, resilience, and regulatory discipline are critical. This partnership reflects TCS' broader strategy to help clients become perpetually adaptive enterprises by turning frontier AI into transformation at enterprise scale," said TCS CEO and MD K Krithivasan.

As part of the collaboration, TCS will provide enterprise-wide access to Claude for 50,000 associates across engineering, finance, legal, marketing and sales functions.
