Overview

• Amit Shah posted a new Zoho Mail address on X, with The Hindu noting the change covers party-related email and that his official [email protected] address remains unchanged.
• A digitally signed Education Ministry circular directs all officials to create and share documents exclusively in Zoho Office Suite with integration to NIC mail.
• IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and other leaders publicly adopted or endorsed Zoho tools, framing the shift as support for swadeshi technology and digital sovereignty.
• Zoho saw usage spikes after the endorsements, with Hindustan Times reporting Arattai sign-ups jumping from roughly 3,000 per day to about 350,000 and climbing app-store rankings.
• Zoho co-founder Sridhar Vembu thanked Shah and said the company accelerated end-to-end encryption for Arattai chats with device-only storage after the surge in interest.
