Arattai App Moves Towards Open Messaging Like UPI!
I was truly surprised to hear this news! 😮 Zoho's Sridhar Vembu shared an update about India's popular app Arattai, announcing a significant step towards standardizing messaging protocols. Their dream of a more open and interoperable messaging ecosystem through collaboration with 'iSpirit', the technology development group behind UPI, makes the future incredibly exciting! ✨
Hello everyone! Today, I've brought some truly fascinating tech news. Along with an update on India's popular app Arattai, a significant movement towards standardizing messaging protocols has been observed.
Arattai App Prepares for a New Leap
Sridhar Vembu, the founder of Zoho, recently garnered significant attention by sharing an update on the Arattai app. It seems an increasing number of people, particularly in India, are starting to use Arattai. 🚀
Furthermore, Sridhar Vembu revealed that discussions have begun with Sharad Sharma of iSpirit regarding the standardization and public release of messaging protocols for a new instant messaging app. The moment I heard this, I thought, 'Wow, a really important change is happening!' 🤔
Collaboration with iSpirit, the Architect of UPI's Success
What's even more surprising is that the group that laid the technical foundation for UPI (Unified Payments Interface) is none other than iSpirit. Sridhar Vembu expressed deep respect for the iSpirit group's technical efforts that enabled UPI's successful establishment. 🙌
Sridhar Vembu emphasized, "Sharad is a good friend and will lead us in achieving this goal. These systems should not be closed like WhatsApp today, but interoperable like UPI or email." Through this statement, we could clearly glimpse Arattai's intended direction. It's about creating a feeling of connection to a wider world, rather than just a personal message inbox!

A Vision for an Open Messaging Ecosystem
Zoho plans to make this vision a reality through collaboration with iSpirit. Sridhar Vembu firmly stated, "We never want to become a monopoly." This demonstrates a strong commitment to creating an open messaging environment where anyone can freely communicate and share information, without being dependent on a specific company or platform. 💡
Moving away from the current messaging methods confined to specific platforms like WhatsApp, building an interoperable system where anyone can connect and communicate, much like UPI and email, is a truly necessary change. What do you all think?
Why the Arattai App is Exciting for the Future
The fact that the developers of the Arattai app are actively working towards standardizing open messaging protocols is highly encouraging. Zoho's Sridhar Vembu added, "We have started discussions with iSpirit at Arattai. iSpirit is the group that did the technical work...", suggesting that the collaboration is progressing smoothly.
If the messaging apps we use daily evolve into a more free and open form, our methods of communication will also become richer. I am truly looking forward to the future messaging ecosystem that the Arattai app will create! 😄
That's all for today's news. I'll be back with more informative and interesting news next time! 😊
