India is on the track to build meaningful apps that actually have the potential to replace to foreign apps. Keeping that in mind, the Arattai app, also being hailed as a WhatsApp Killer, has seen an unprecedented surge in the number of users. Pretty recently, the app has seen a massive surge in sign-ups, skyrocketing from 3000 sign-ups to daily to around 350,000 in a span of only three days. This boost is heavily inspired by the Indian government's appeal to use local apps, along with the way Arattai is showcasing itself in the market. The app is claiming to be the first spyware-free competitor against international apps. For those who don't know, Arattai means casual chat in Tamil, and the app is not a recently launched product. It first came
into existence in 2021 as a side project of Zoho Corporation.

The Arattai app comes with all the messaging features like group chats, voice calls, video sharing, broadcast channels, stories, and a lot more. You can share files, media, and texts in both group and personal chats. Furthermore, it also supports mult-device functionality with which you can run the app on a desktop and Android TV. What's more intriguing is that Arattai has pledged not to use the data of users for monetary purposes.

WhatsApp has a large user base in India, along with a very heavy global adoption rate. It will be a little challenging for Arattai to completely eradicate WhatsApp in the beginning. Moreover, one feature that gives WhatsApp an upper hand is the end-to-end encryption offered by the Meta-owned instant messaging platform.
