New Delhi, October 13: Zoho Mail is increasingly being recognised as an alternative to Google-owned Gmail in India, similar to Zoho’s Arattai app, which competes with Meta-owned WhatsApp for chat and calling. The platform offers a migration process for users who want to shift to Zoho Mail from Gmail.

Following PM Narendra Modi’s call to support "Swadeshi" products, Zoho Mail has gained attention as a privacy-focused option as a Gmail alternative in India. Several leaders in India, including Home Minister Amit Shah and Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, have already transitioned to Zoho Mail, showing a growing preference for locally developed email services in the country. Zoho's Sridhar Vembu Praises Mappls App by MapmyIndia, Says ‘Reflects Decades of R&D, Much Longer Than Google Maps’.
