AI might be changing the world, but can it keep up with the wit in this room?
Between the big conversations and the bigger wins, the ET Startup Awards 2026 had its fair share of laughs too. Things took a lighter turn as Suresh Venkat threw a few curveball questions at some familiar faces in the front row.
If you could ask this distinguished front row just one question, what would it be? Tell us in the comments! 👇

We kicked off our company building immersion for Surge 12 in Bangalore last week. The focus was on the early choices that shape the trajectory of a company, with sessions around some of the questions every 0–1 founder has to navigate:
- Founder’s DNA
- Finding Product Market Fit and continuing to find it as you grow
- GTM in age of AI and its constant evolution
- Distribution as a moat
- Hiring: the who, the how, the when
- Media, press, branding and content
- Resilience & grit
- 1% Mindset
Thank you to our friends and speakers for your time, and candour. Here’s a glimpse of the energy from the 3 days. Details of sessions coming up soon…

Claude is live in India with in-country inference through Amazon Bedrock!
In August, we said this was coming. Our customers, especially in regulated sectors and government, want to use Claude on their most critical work, with requests processed in India. From today, they can.

Claude has discovered a previously unknown enzyme system hidden in the DNA of bacteriophages. Beside the enzyme’s gene sits a long array of repeating DNA—a structure that looks somewhat similar to CRISPR.
We don’t yet understand what this system does, but only a handful of known systems share its features, and all of them are able to cut, copy, and paste DNA. Historically, the discovery of such programmable systems has helped revolutionize medicine. CRISPR, for instance, is now the foundation of genetic medicines. But it will take much more work to learn what this system does, and whether it can be put to similar use.

Delighted to share one of the first AI for Science stories from India.
Snakebite kills an estimated 58,000 Indians every year. Commercial antivenom is raised against just four species, from venom collected largely in one district of Tamil Nadu, so it often fails against bites elsewhere in the country.
Dr Kartik Sunagar's Evolutionary Venomics Lab at the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru has spent years mapping how venom varies across India's cobras, kraits and vipers. With support from Anthropic's AI for Science program, his team is now using Claude to curate and annotate that data, hunting targets for a next-generation antivenom that works pan-India.
Dr. Sunagar's lab was the first in India to receive an AI for Science grant. India now has many more. I'll be sharing their work here over the coming weeks.
If frontier AI could accelerate your research, we'd like to hear from you. AI for Science offers free API credits to researchers on high-impact projects: lnkd.in/eeM_Fcrm. And Claude Science, our new AI workbench for scientists, is at claude.com/science.
Congratulations Dr Kartik Kannan Sunagar and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) team.

Thanks a lot for an insightful meeting @JitinPrasada and the leadership team.
वाणिज्य भवन में @AnthropicAI इंडिया की प्रबंध निदेशक सुश्री इरीना घोष जी और उनकी टीम के साथ एक सार्थक बैठक हुई।
बैठक के दौरान भारत में ज़िम्मेदार और सुरक्षित एआई इकोसिस्टम के विस्तार, नवाचार को बढ़ावा देने तथा #IndiaAI मिशन के अनुरूप जन-कल्याण एवं उद्योगों में अत्याधुनिक एआई तकनीकों के प्रभावी उपयोग की संभावनाओं पर विस्तृत चर्चा हुई।

India is Claude’s second-largest market. What does that say about India’s AI prowess and the advantage the country is taking from the technology?

Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1 are here!
Our most advanced models yet for coding and knowledge work, with research capabilities that offer an early glimpse of how AI will contribute to scientific progress.
A few headlines from the announcement:
→ Fable 5.1 is live now on the Claude API, AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure.
→ Around 25% lower cost than Fable 5 for typical workloads, and up to ~45% for highly agentic work, with cache reads now 75% cheaper.
→ A new performance frontier: 52.6% on Terminal-Bench-Science, more than double Fable 5.
→ Enterprise Frontier Safeguards: complete privacy for enterprise customers, with data held in infrastructure they control, rolling out in phases later this year.
→ Fable 5.1 built a new elevation map of a third of Venus from 30-year-old NASA radar data.
To every developer and builder in India: this is your moment. The breakthroughs that define the next decade - in science, in industry, in how a billion people live and work, are yours to build, and these models are built for that ambition.

Claude Academy is now live.
Whether you're figuring out what AI is or already using Claude every day, there's a path that meets you where you are. The courses and tutorials are free and open to anyone at academy.claude.com

The capability of the models itself, it's gone across on doing very long horizon tasks and that capability is doubling. That's been happening for the last two years. India remains um the second largest user of Claude AI and not just that, worldwide, it is the largest proportion, 45% using it for anything to do with testing, acceleration and experimentation, which means that we really kind of deploy and delegate a lot more in clot than anybody else. So kudos to the country and what people are and builders are doing from here too.

AI is changing how businesses think about growth and leadership. The next decade will test how quickly organisations can adapt as the technology becomes more deeply embedded in how they operate.
Cheryl Lim, Partner, McKinsey; Verena Siow, President - Asia Pacific, SAP; Irina Ghose, MD, Anthropic India; and Hans Christian Dall Nygård, Head of Private Equity, SPEC Finance, discussed what this means for business leaders in the session “Leadership in the Age of AI: Reinventing Businesses for the Next Decade” at #ETWLF.

The leadership team from Anthropic, led by Mr. Michael Sellitto, Head of International Policy, called on Hon'ble Chief Minister Shri @DKShivakumar at Vidhana Soudha today.
The meeting discussed potential areas of collaboration between Anthropic and the Government of Karnataka, including AI-enabled citizen services, governance, skilling, startup enablement and scientific research. The discussions also covered support for the Government of Karnataka's AI University initiative and opportunities for continued engagement on AI-led innovation.

The Finance Advisor to the Hon'ble Chief Minister Shri @lkatheeq joined the Hon'ble Chief Minister Shri @DKShivakumar in a meeting with the senior leadership of Anthropic led by Mr Michael Sellitto and Ms Irina Ghose, to discuss opportunities for collaboration in advancing Artificial Intelligence across governance, public service delivery, skilling, scientific research and the startup ecosystem.
As AI continues to reshape economies and governments across the world, regions that combine world-class talent, cutting-edge research, vibrant innovation ecosystems and progressive public policy will emerge as global leaders. Karnataka has steadily built these strengths over the years, making Bengaluru a natural destination for frontier AI companies looking to partner with government and academia.
The discussions reflected a shared vision of leveraging AI to improve citizen services, strengthen government capabilities, accelerate research and empower startups, while ensuring that innovation remains responsible, inclusive and focused on creating tangible public value.
Karnataka's next phase of growth will not be driven only by adopting new technologies, but by building institutions and partnerships that transform technological innovation into better governance and stronger economic outcomes.
