plans at rates that include local taxes."

But need to be precise: "has started localizing" is the event. The prices are listed. Also note that UPI not yet enabled. So deck: "Anthropic has begun offering Claude subscriptions in Indian rupees, with prices set at ₹2,000 per month for Pro annual billing and up to ₹11,999 for Max."

Bullets:

1. Anthropic has listed Claude Pro at ₹2,000 (about $21) per month when billed annually, Claude Max at ₹11,999 (around $125) per month, and Team plans at ₹2,399 (about $25) per seat per month, all including local taxes. (This is an event: pricing localization.)

2. Anthropic has not yet enabled payments via India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI); users must pay by card or through Apple’s and Google’s app store billing. (Event: current payment methods.)

3. Anthropic opened an office in Bengaluru in February 2026 and appointed former Microsoft India managing director Irina Ghose to lead its India business in January. (Events: expansion steps.)

4. In June 2026, Anthropic suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models for non-U.S. entities, later lifting the restriction on Fable 5 while Mythos 5 remains limited. (Event: model access restriction and partial reversal.)

We have 4 bullets. Check length: each bullet should be 15-30 words. Bullet 1 is longer: "Anthropic has listed Claude Pro at ₹2,000 per month billed annually, Claude Max at ₹11,999 per month, and Team plans at ₹2,399 per seat per month, all including local taxes." That's about 30 words. Acceptable.

But note: the article says "India accounts for 5.8% of global Claude usage" — that's a statement from Anthropic? It says "according to Anthropic". So that is an attributed statement from the company. But we can include it as a bullet: "Anthropic stated that India accounts for 5.8% of global Claude usage, making it the service’s second-largest market after the U.S." That is a substantive statement from a named actor. However, check the rules: "Substantive statements, positions, and concrete commitments from named actors — always attribute to the actor with a reporting verb." So we can write: "Anthropic stated that India accounts for 5.8% of global Claude usage, making it the service’s second-largest market after the U.S." That is a statement. But we have 4 bullets already; we could replace one of the expansion bullets with this. The expansion bullets are events, not statements. The statement is also factual claim from the company. Might be useful. But the brief already has 4 bullets; we could drop one. The model access suspension is also an event. Let's see which is most important. The pricing localization is the main event. The UPI lack is a detail. The expansion moves are context. The model suspension is a separate event. The usage stats are a claim. I think the usage stat is a concrete number from the company, so it's valuable. I'll replace the model suspension bullet with the usage stat, because the model suspension is a separate issue that might be tangential. But the article includes it as part of the narrative. The headline focuses on pricing localization. So the model suspension is a secondary event. Better to have the usage stat as it relates directly to India's importance. Let's do:

• Anthropic has listed Claude Pro at ₹2,000 per month when billed annually, Claude Max at ₹11,999 per month, and Team plans at ₹2,399 per seat per month, all including local taxes.
• Anthropic has not yet enabled payments via India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI); users must pay by card or through Apple’s and Google’s app store billing.
• Anthropic opened an office in Bengaluru in February and appointed former Microsoft India managing director Irina Ghose to lead its India business in January.
• Anthropic stated that India accounts for 5.8% of global Claude usage, making it the service’s second-largest market after the U.S.

That's 4 bullets. All are events or statements. The deck should be one sentence. Let's write: "Anthropic has begun offering Claude subscriptions in Indian rupees, with annual billing prices set at ₹2,000 for Pro, ₹11,999 for Max, and ₹2,399 per seat for Team." That's about 25 words. Headline: "Anthropic localizes Claude pricing for India, its largest market after the US" — but note: the article says "biggest market outside the US". So "largest market after the US" is fine.

Check total word count: deck ~25, each bullet ~25-30, total ~125-145, under 160.

Now produce final output. Ensure no markdown errors. No media. The source had an image tag, we ignore. Also no "Sources" section. Use English only. Data is from the source only. No external knowledge. The source says "Claude Pro at ₹2,000 (about $21) a month when billed annually" — we need to be precise: "when billed annually" is important. Also "Team plans start at ₹2,399 (around $25) per seat a month". So we write "per seat per month". The deck should mention annual billing? The deck says "annual billing prices". That's fine.

One more check: the source says "Local pricing has begun to appear for some users in India on Claude’s website and mobile apps." But the prices are listed. So the event is that pricing has started appearing. We can state that as a bullet. But we already have the pricing bullet which implies the localization. I think it's fine.

Now, write the brief. Use proper tense: present perfect for the new event ("has begun", "has listed"). Past for earlier events ("opened", "appointed"). Present for ongoing ("has not yet enabled").

Output exactly as required. No extra text. Start with # headline, then blank line, then > deck, then blank line, then - bullets. Each bullet on its own line. No extra blank lines between bullets. Use - for bullet.
