HCLTech partners with Anthropic on enterprise agentic AI
Indian IT services firm HCLTech said it signed a partnership agreement with Anthropic to speed enterprise adoption of agentic AI, with a focus on security, cybersecurity and governance. HCLTech said it will set up a dedicated AI business unit and a center of excellence (CoE) to build agentic AI solutions, with its service teams building industry solutions and products on Claude, Cowork and Claude Code, according to the report. The item was published by Jiemian and carried by 36Kr Kuaixun; no financial terms, deal value or timeline were disclosed.
It is an enterprise distribution push for Anthropic through a large Indian IT services channel, and reflects how agentic AI is being packaged as a governed, security-focused enterprise offering rather than a raw model capability.
