Collaborative design platform Figma has opened its first office in India, located in Bengaluru. The company also said that it has begun hiring.
Alongside the launch, Figma unveiled new AI design tools and released research showing strong adoption of AI in design among Indian companies.
“Today India is our second-largest active user market. As it evolves into a global software and manufacturing hub, the value of design will only grow,” Scott Pugh, APAC vice president of sales at Figma, said. “We’ve seen increasing demand from Indian companies, and with the office opening, we want to get closer to our users and the community here.”
All Figma products are now available in India, including Figma Design, Figma Make, Dev Mode, Figma Sites, FigJam, Figma Slides, Figma Draw, and Figma Buzz.
Figma said over 85% of its users are based outside the United States, and about half its revenue in 2024 came from international markets. The Bengaluru office joins a global network that includes New York, Tokyo, Singapore, London, Paris, Berlin, Sydney, and São Paulo.
Figma recently acquired Weavy, a generative AI platform, and introduced new design systems integration in Figma Make, which it said will help teams scale design capabilities across products and brands.
According to Figma, 93% of designers in India say their companies already use AI in design, while 85% believe AI simplifies code writing. The study also found that 81% of developers consider design increasingly important to the success of AI-powered products. The survey was conducted by YouGov among 730 professionals in design, engineering, and product leadership roles.
Figma said it now serves users in 85% of India’s 28 official states, and counts leading organisations such as Airtel, CARS24, Groww, Juspay, Myntra, Swiggy, TCS, and Zomato among its customers. Over 40% of BSE100 companies use Figma products.
