Arattai: The Indian Messaging App Surging 100x in Popularity

The Swadeshi Wave

In adherence to India’s ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ movement, the nation sees a promising surge in indigenous innovations. The spotlight today is on Arattai Messenger, spearheaded by Zoho, which is witnessing unprecedented interest thanks to recent governmental support.

A Nod from Leaders

IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw recently championed the cause of Indian software, setting a tone for the Swadeshi transition. Following suit, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s advocacy for Arattai, meaning ‘chat’ in Tamil, marks a significant milestone in bringing homegrown solutions to the forefront of communication technology.

What Sets Arattai Apart?

Arattai is not merely a clone but a comprehensive communication solution offering text, voice, video calls, and more. Its excellent feature of end-to-end encryption ensures unmatched security and privacy, so even Zoho itself can’t intercept communications—a leap forward in protecting user data against unauthorized surveillance.

A Meteoric Rise

The app’s popularity skyrocketed post-Pradhan’s endorsements on social media platforms. As stated by Sridhar Vembu, Zoho’s founder, “We have faced a 100x increase in Arattai traffic in 3 days, from 3K to 350K sign-ups daily. Our infrastructure is on high alert for more exponential growth.” According to Deccan Herald, such growth reflects both a pent-up demand for domestic solutions and the appeal of a robust, secure communication tool within India.

What Lies Ahead?

Zoho is setting up for an expansive relaunch in November, earmarking new features and significant capacity enhancements for Arattai. Vembu articulates an ambitious vision for the app’s future, urging patience from its loyal and growing user base—a testament to the community’s trust and the app’s potential.

Conclusion

Arattai’s remarkable ascent not only demonstrates the impact of governmental support on domestic tech products but also highlights a growing preference for local, secure applications. With continued innovations and strategic endorsements, Arattai is set to redefine communication in India.
