Arattai is a free, cross-platform messaging application developed by Chennai-based Zoho Corporation. Arattai was introduced in January 2021 and provides features like group chats, file sharing, audio and video calls, and text and voice messaging. Arattai was designed as a privacy-focused, cross-platform alternative to global messaging apps like WhatsApp. Given its Indian origins, the term "Arattai" means "to chat" or "conversation" in Tamil. Integrated with Zoho Cliq and expanding across mobile and desktop platforms, Arattai reflects Zoho’s commitment to security, user privacy, and providing indigenous technology solutions to millions of users worldwide.
