Figma has opened a new hub in Bengaluru to support India’s rapidly expanding design and product-development community. India is now Figma’s second-largest market by monthly active users, with strong adoption among major companies and growing interest in AI-assisted design and development. The Bengaluru office is intended to bring Figma closer to local users while helping shape the future of product creation in India.

Bengaluru Hub and India’s Growing Community

  • The office opened on November 12, 2025, after more than 7,000 people registered for the launch event.
  • Figma says India has nearly 25,000 Friends of Figma community members.
  • More than 40% of Bombay Stock Exchange 100 companies used Figma as of September 2025.
  • Major customers include Airtel, Flipkart, Swiggy, Zomato, Myntra, Groww, and TCS.

AI’s Impact on Design and Development

Research surveying 730 design, engineering, and product leaders found that:

  • 93% of designers’ companies already use AI in design.
  • 85% of designers believe AI makes writing code easier.
  • 81% of developers say design is increasingly important to successful AI-powered products.

These findings support Figma’s broader strategy of connecting design, code, collaboration, and AI in one platform.

Figma’s Expanding Product Platform

At the Bengaluru launch, Figma highlighted tools across its product ecosystem:

  • Figma Design: Create digital products.
  • Figma Make: Turn prompts or designs into prototypes and applications.
  • Dev Mode: Help developers translate designs into code.

Figma also introduced Figma Weave, based on its acquisition of Weavy, to add AI-native capabilities for image, video, animation, motion design, and VFX creation.

Figma’s Global Expansion

  • 85% of Figma users were outside the United States in Q1 2025.
  • About half of Figma’s 2024 revenue came from international markets.
  • Bengaluru joins Figma offices in cities including Tokyo, Singapore, London, Paris, Berlin, Sydney, São Paulo, and New York.

The new hub reflects Figma’s shift from a standalone design tool toward a global, AI-powered platform supporting the full journey from idea to product.
