Overview

• Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan urged people to try Arattai as a secure, free, Made‑in‑India option aligned with the Swadeshi push.
• IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw highlighted Zoho’s products, noting a recent Union Cabinet briefing used Zoho Show rather than Microsoft PowerPoint.
• Zoho says Arattai is engineered to run smoothly on low-end smartphones and over unreliable connections to reach underserved users.
• Features include text and media sharing, voice and video calls, stories, channels, and large group chats up to 1,000 participants, with end‑to‑end encryption on calls but not on messages.
• Zoho confirms availability is coming soon across Android and iOS, desktop apps for Mac, Windows and Linux, and Android TV.
