Indian messaging platform Arattai, developed by Zoho Corporation, has reached an impressive 7.5 million downloads across Android and iOS devices. The app, often seen as India’s answer to WhatsApp, is gaining rapid traction among users looking for a secure and privacy-focused alternative made in India.
Launched quietly in 2021, Arattai (meaning “chat” in Tamil) offers voice and video calls, group chats, file sharing, and cloud backup, all built on Zoho’s own data centers — ensuring better data protection.
The app’s recent surge in downloads reflects a growing shift toward Indian-made digital platforms, driven by concerns over data privacy and a rising sense of digital self-reliance.
According to market analysts, Arattai’s steady growth is largely organic, supported by word-of-mouth, Zoho’s trusted brand reputation, and its strong focus on privacy and simplicity.
With 7.5 million downloads and counting, Arattai is now one of the fastest-growing homegrown communication apps in the country. Experts believe it could soon cross 10 million downloads, marking a major milestone for an Indian-built alternative in the global messaging space.
