India’s artificial intelligence app market is becoming increasingly competitive, with ChatGPT retaining its lead in user spending while Google’s Gemini strengthens its grip on engagement and Anthropic’s Claude emerges as the fastest-growing major player, according to data from market intelligence firm Sensor Tower, as cited by Times of India.
Claude posted the sharpest growth among major GenAI apps in the June quarter, with its downloads in India soaring more than 30-fold year-on-year to 8.5 million in the second quarter of 2026. Consumer spending on the app jumped nearly 19-fold to about Rs 62.2 crore.
