Figma is expanding its support for India with local hosting for Figma file data and stronger enterprise governance tools. Local data residency is planned for Q1 2026, helping regulated organizations meet security and compliance requirements while maintaining Figma’s performance. Governance+ is already available to Enterprise customers in India.

Local Data Hosting for Indian Customers

  • Figma file data will be hosted within India, including content from FigJam, Make, Sites, Buzz, and Slides.
  • The option is intended for regulated sectors such as public services, healthcare, and finance.
  • Indian users created more than 35 million files between October 2024 and September 2025.
  • India is Figma’s second-largest active user base globally.
  • The offering builds on existing data residency options in Australia, Europe, and the United States.
  • Figma has expanded its local presence through a new Bengaluru hub and serves companies including Airtel, Flipkart, Swiggy, TCS, and Zomato.

Governance+ for Enterprise Teams

Governance+ gives organizations more control over how employees access and use Figma:

  • Centralized control: IP Allowlisting and Network Access Restrictions help ensure work occurs in approved Figma instances and networks.
  • Account security: Enforced two-factor authentication, extended idle session timeouts, and support for multiple identity providers reduce account-compromise risks.
  • Data governance: The Discovery Pipeline provides visibility into activity to support retention policies and legal discovery.
  • Governance+ complements existing tools such as activity logs, SSO, SCIM-based seat management, and restrictions on external collaborators.
  • The feature is available now to all Enterprise-plan customers.

Figma’s India strategy combines regional data residency with tighter administrative controls, making the platform more suitable for organizations with strict privacy, security, and regulatory obligations. Enterprises interested in local hosting can register their interest ahead of its planned Q1 2026 launch.
