This is somewhere that OpenAI has seen a ton of growth and even Perplexity has seen a ton of growth.

So there's these different AI companies that have hit that market very hard.

And with such a huge population, I have seen a lot of success.

Now, what I will say for Anthropic is it feels like they've run into a bit of a snag in India.

So there apparently is a local software company that has filed a court complaint alleging that it has operated under the name Anthropic since 2017, and they're arguing

that now that Anthropic is trying to come into the country this is causing their customers to be confused and you know they're basically saying we want Anthropic to change its name so that you know our customers are not confused by it which is an interesting problem not just for India but I mean you could imagine this could happen in other countries and it'd be interesting to see how these

how these different firms fight that.

Now, in the case of something like ChatGPT, well, I mean, no one else was named ChatGPT.

This wasn't really something on top of people's minds.

But Anthropic, it's kind of a less straightforward name.

You could have imagined perhaps there's other companies around the world with this.

So I think the timing on this is important.

Anthropic, they've been

really deepening their focus on India.

They announced some plans for an India office last last October.

And they also recently appointed the former Microsoft India managing director who is arena ghosts to lead their operations over there.

So obviously, they're really signaling that the market is growing, and that this is a really important market for them.

I think a lot of AI firms are trying to expand beyond just the US and Europe, right?

If they're trying to get the user base they want, and they're willing to do

you know, cheaper tiers as we've seen with OpenAI and kind of their Go plan.
