The partnership will focus on cybersecurity, safety and governance. HCLTech will establish a dedicated Anthropic Business Unit and a Centre of Excellence, while HCLSoftware will integrate Claude into products including HCL BigFix and HCL AppScan. The collaboration covers software engineering, IT support, cybersecurity, automation and business process applications. HCLTech will also integrate Claude and Claude Code into its AIForce platform. Daniela Amodei, Anthropic's co-founder and president, said the partnership would give companies confidence to use AI in sensitive work. HCLTech CEO C Vijayakumar said the firm's scale and product depth gave it an advantage in deploying agentic AI. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Coverage of the HCLTech-Anthropic partnership is uniform across sources, with cnbctv18.com, The Hindu BusinessLine, and rediff.com all carrying the same basic facts: a dedicated business unit, a Centre of Excellence, and integration of Claude into HCL products.
