  2. Indian government decrees that WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, etc. must ensure continuous SIM binding with services

    • Indian government has classified each of WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Arattai, Snapchat, ShareChat, JioChat, and Josh as a Telecommunication Identifier User Entity (TIUE)
    • TIUEs must fulfill a range of cybersecurity obligations
    • TIUEs must ensure that SIM cards remain continuously linked to their services, they must make it impossible for their users to use services without a SIM
    • For website or web-app-based access, TIUEs must ensure users are logged out periodically (not later than 6 hours) and must offer an option to relink accounts through a QR-code-based method

  6. India’s homegrown platform Arattai has vaulted to the top of the country’s social rankings, yet daily active users remain modest. The post‑launch surge, powered by AI features like BharatGPT and backed by AWS, New Relic and Y Combinator, shows promise but also highlights adoption challenges. Dive into the numbers and what it means for open‑source social apps. #Arattai #BharatGPT #AWS #YC

  8. Crowdsourced product decision-making in the Indian tech space

    During September-October 2025, Arattai [1] surged in popularity as a “made in India” alternative to WhatsApp. A major criticism that emerged on X was the lack of E2EE for text chats. Calls already had it. Users repeatedly tagged Sridhar Vembu [2] and Arattai demanding the feature.

    During early November 2025 Sridhar Vembu posted a detailed thread on X showing screenshots of the upcoming E2EE interface and explicitly asked for user feedback on two implementation options as stated below.

    Option 1: Make E2EE optional/user-controlled (with cloud backups possible for non-encrypted chats), or
    Option 2: Make it mandatory and system-wide default (no non-encrypted option, cheaper for Zoho to run).

    Sridhar shared screenshots, explained trade-offs (privacy vs convenience/storage), and invited replies. He received large number of responses. Many strongly preferred the stricter, mandatory version for maximum privacy. About 10 days later, Sridhar Vembu posted the decision to go with option 2 i.e. mandatory system-wide E2EE. He noted it required significant redesign and testing. Since then, Sridhar posted periodic updates about progress and answered user queries on X.


    Finally E2EE for one-to-one chats went live yesterday (18th November 2025). Zoho posted detailed explanations, migration notes, and continued responding to dozens of user clarifications.

    The transparency of Zoho with respect to end user inputs for E2EE was unusual for a commercial product Arattai. I am yet to see such an open and participatory process in India when adding a feature like end-to-end encryption (E2EE) to Arattai. Also such repeated engagement with end-users on X was impressive.

    💬 @rahulporuri from @fossunited who uses #Quicksy to talk to users on #Prav and other #XMPP services, draws attention to the real thing people need to be thinking about: interoperability between different messaging services, so we never have to shift walled-gardens again.

  24. For #Inktober day 11, we have a reminder of how extensible and flexible #XMPP actually is. While people usually think only of private messaging à la #Signal and #Arattai, the same protocol can be used for cases as diverse as social media updates, shared bookmarking, newsfeeds, and more.

    Initiatives like #Movim, #Blasta, and #Libervia demonstrate that it's not just a question of being able to communicate among birds, but also among animals, starfish, and maybe even #sting-ray!

  29. @rahulporuri well said and a much-needed conversation 👏

    Most such apps are under-ambitious like this. They "only" wanted to be like Google: based in #India, yes, but still a walled garden. What we need is not more walled gardens but open protocols that break us out of walled gardens once and for all 🏃

    I want to like #Arattai. It's even got a Tamil meaning and a cool multilingual logo! But without federation, it's useless to me. Just enable #XMPP already man!! :xmpp:
