Under the deal, Infosys will integrate Anthropic's Claude models into its Topaz AI platform to build 'agentic' systems capable of autonomously handling complex workflows across industries like banking, telecoms, and manufacturing. The partnership comes as AI tools disrupt India's $280 billion IT services industry, raising questions about the future of labor-intensive outsourcing models.
