Amit Shah is the latest from the PM Modi government to sign up for Zoho-based platforms, the latest being Zoho Mail which is a Gmail and Microsoft Outlook rival from India. One of the senior most government official joining Zoho Mail is likely to have a chain effect across different authorities in the next few days, as the hype moves into actionable decisions.

Sridhar Vembu, Founder, Zoho has been making the headlines with his updates around varied Zoho platforms, including Arattai and its supposed lack of end-to-end encryption for chats but supported for video and voice calls on Android and iOS devices.
