Figma, the collaborative design software loved by creatives and coders alike, has finally made it official, India now has its own Figma Office. The Silicon Valley-based company announced the opening of its first India hub in Bengaluru on November 12, cementing the growing importance of the country in its global expansion roadmap. The move places India alongside Singapore and Tokyo as Figma’s key Asia-Pacific bases, marking a major step in the company’s efforts to get closer to one of its most active user communities outside the United States.

And if the user numbers of the company are seen then this step is absolutely right. India is Figma’s second-largest market globally, with millions of designers, developers and product managers relying on its attractive interface and real-time collaboration features to create everything from fintech dashboards to shopping apps.

India: Figma’s fastest-growing creative hub

“Today, India is our second largest active user market. As it grows as a global software and manufacturing hub, the value of design will only increase,” said Scott Pugh, Figma’s vice president of sales for Asia Pacific. “We have seen increasing demand from Indian companies, and with the opening of the office, we want to get closer to our users and the community here.”

The company has already begun hiring for a local team, with job vacancies currently listed for sales, marketing and engineering roles, though it has not yet revealed how large the new office will be.

According to Figma, more than 40 per cent of BSE’s top 100 companies are now customers, including Flipkart, Myntra, TCS, Airtel, Zomato, Swiggy, Cred, Razorpay, Groww, Jaspay and Cars24.

For many of these companies, Figma has become a useful tool for collaboration. Lakshminarayan Swaminathan, Vice President, Product Management and Design at Myntra, said: “At Myntra, design is at the heart of everything we do and Figma has become an integral part of bringing that vision to life. It unites our teams around a shared creative vision, accelerates idea-to-product, and puts us at the forefront of developing digital experiences, especially with AI.”

With India’s digital economy growing rapidly, and its pool of designers, engineers and product managers growing by the day, Figma’s Bengaluru presence is as much a talent play as it is a market strategy.

From cloud design to creative powerhouse

Founded by Dylan Field and Evan Wallace in 2012, Figma began as a simple browser-based design platform that allowed multiple users to collaborate on projects in real time. It soon became a major tool in the world of product design and user experience – a kind of Google Docs for design teams.

But Figma is no longer just about UI/UX mock-ups. Over the past few years, the company has expanded its toolkit with a flurry of new features and apps: FigmaJam for brainstorming and whiteboarding, Dev Mode to bridge the gap between designers and developers, Figma Slides for presentations, Figma Draw for illustration, and Figma Make, its AI-powered prototyping tool.

Most recently, it introduced Figma Buzz to help Figma sites and teams build live responsive websites and create marketing assets at scale. And just last month, the company acquired Vive, a platform that combines AI models and editing tools on a single canvas. Now rebranded as Figma Weave, the technology will power AI-powered video, animation and VFX tools within the platform in the future.

After a $20 billion acquisition deal with Adobe in 2023 collapsed, Figma made a dramatic comeback with a blockbuster IPO in July 2025, one of the biggest tech listings of the year. Its shares briefly pushed the company’s market capitalization above $50 billion and then peaked at around $22 billion.

Figma’s most recent earnings show strong momentum: Revenue grew 38 percent year-over-year to $274.2 million in Q3 2025, and the company has now surpassed the $1 billion annual revenue run rate.

Globally, Figma says 95 percent of Fortune 500 companies use its products, and two-thirds of its users are not even professional designers. With Bengaluru now joining its global map, Figma is set to double down on that community, and in turn, give India’s design landscape a big creative boost.
