Anthropic IPO: 4 Indian-origin leaders behind the Claude maker

Anthropic has filed for a Nasdaq IPO under the ticker ANT, revealing strong revenue growth alongside massive spending and a unique governance structure. The filing puts four Indian-origin executives in the spotlight as the company prepares for its public debut. Revenue for the six months ended June 30 reached $16.3 billion, up from $1.16 billion a year earlier, though the company reported a net loss of $80.7 billion driven largely by a non-cash accounting charge. CFO Krishna Rao manages compute commitments estimated at $518 billion, while CTO Rahul Patil oversees infrastructure and demand constraints. The four leaders include CFO Krishna Rao, CTO Rahul Patil, Claude Code engineer Sid Bidasaria, and governance leader Neil "Buddy" Shah. India is Anthropic's second-largest user market, with a Bengaluru office opened in February and a partnership with Infosys announced for the Claude Code tool.
