Amit Shah moves from Gmail to Zoho Mail, shares new email ID on X

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday announced that he has moved his official email to Zoho Mail and asked people to use his new address for future correspondence. The short post on X made the switch official and asked followers to note the change.

“Hello everyone,I have switched to Zoho Mail. Kindly note the change in my email address.My new email address is amitshah.bjp @http://zohomail.in. For future correspondence via mail, kindly use this address.Thank you for your kind attention to this matter,” he wrote.

The move comes as Zoho has been riding a wave of attention in India, thanks in part to the buzz around its Arattai messaging app, which some users have hailed as a potential WhatsApp rival, and a broader push for homegrown tech. That chatter has helped other Zoho products, including Zoho Mail, gain greater visibility among officials and professionals.

Why Zoho? The company positions Zoho Mail as a privacy-focused, ad-free email service with features that appeal to professionals and small businesses, including custom domain support, built-in productivity tools, and industry-standard encryption. Zoho’s pricing and “forever free” options for small domains have also made it attractive to users looking to move away from larger global providers.
