Figma is expanding its operations in India by opening a local office in Bengaluru and hiring talent from the region. This move aims to strengthen Figma’s ties with its large user base in India, which is the company's second-largest market after the U.S. Approximately 33% of Figma's global users are developers, yet many Indian developers still view Figma primarily as a design tool. Abhishek Mathur, Figma's VP of Engineering, emphasized the need to change this perception and position Figma as a versatile platform for product creation. As of the third quarter of 2025, Figma serves users in 85% of India's 28 states, with over 40% of the top 100 companies on the Bombay Stock Exchange using its services. The company has reported 13 million weekly active users globally, though specific figures for India were not disclosed. Feedback from Indian users has already driven product enhancements, such as improved code-export options. Figma’s new AI-powered features, particularly Figma Make, have seen significant adoption in India, with users generating over 800,000 prototypes. The Bengaluru office will initially focus on sales and marketing and aims to engage with a diverse range of clients, from startups like Zomato and Swiggy to IT giants like Infosys and TCS. In 2024, about half of Figma's revenue came from international markets, highlighting the importance of India in its business strategy. This expansion reflects Figma's commitment to building a strong presence in a country that plays a crucial role in its growth and product development.
