Home Minister Amit Shah has officially shared his new email ID, announcing that he will now work on the Indian-made Zoho Mail platform. This significant announcement was made in a post on X on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, in which he also urged everyone to send all future emails to this new Zoho email ID.

Zoho Mail, considered an Indian rival to Gmail and Microsoft Outlook, is gaining popularity among senior Indian government officials. It's believed that other government departments may follow suit after Amit Shah's move.

Zoho's chat app, Arattai, is also gaining popularity, especially since Prime Minister Modi has emphasized "indigenous tech" and talked about promoting Indian apps.

Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu has recently been in the news for his company's platforms, such as Arattai, and other Zoho services. According to reports, Arattai chats currently lack end-to-end encryption, but this feature is available for video and voice calls, and is available on both Android and iOS devices.
