- Union Home Minister of India, Amit Shah, on Wednesday, 8 October 2025, announced that he has switched his official email address to Zoho Mail, which is run by the Indian multinational company, Zoho Corporation.
In a social media post, Amit Shah announced that he has switched his email and also disclosed his official email address for people to note for future reference.
“Hello everyone, I have switched to Zoho Mail. Kindly note the change in my email address,” said Shah in his social media post on platform X.
The home minister said that from now on, people should use his amitshah.bjp@zohomail.in, email ID for future correspondence via email.
“My new email address is amitshah.bjp@zohomail.in. For future correspondence via mail, kindly use this address. Thank you for your kind attention to this matter,” said Amit Shah.
What is Zoho Mail?
Zoho Mail is a secure email service launched by the multinational technology firm Zoho Corporation, a Chennai-based software services company which was co-founded by Sridhar Vembu and Tony Tomas in 1996.
With nearly three decades in the technology and software business, the company focuses on creating products and solutions which help other business solve their problems, according to the official website.
The website data shows that the firm has more than 18,000 employees around the world, with close to 130 million users. The company celebrated 15 years of Zoho Mail in 2023, as the email service has helped its users with ‘all-rounded communication and email management of any organisation’ over the years.
Zoho’s Expansion
Zoho Corp. recently launched its messaging application named ‘Arattai’, which seeks to capture the Indian market, which is currently dominated by Meta-owned WhatsApp.
Amid the company’s expansion plans, Zoho co-founder Sridhar Vembu confirmed that Arattai will soon be getting the end-to-end encryption feature for chat messages. However, as of now, the messaging application only offers end-to-end encryption for calls but not for text messages.
“We are actually turning off that cloud storage in Arattai to offer end-to-end encrypted chat. That is in testing right now. We were going to roll it out in November, and we have accelerated the schedule now,” Mint reported earlier, citing Sridhar Vembu’s post on X.
The application is a homegrown app which has been positioned in the Indian market as the WhatsApp killer, according to the earlier reports. Zoho Corp. has a history of competing with global tech giants like Microsoft, Salesforce, and Google through products such as Zoho Workspace, Zoho Mail, and Zoho CRM.
The Nobel season is already here and on Thursday, the Nobel Prize in Literature will be awarded to the best writer of this year. As excitement grows over the prestigious prize, the literary world is closely watching and making bets on their favourites.
The Swedish Academy on Thursday will reveal the name of the new Nobel laureate in literature, putting an end to speculations among readers and experts alike.
A golden chance for India
In 1913, Rabindranath Tagore became the first and only Indian to win Nobel Prize in Literature for Gitanjali. He has held the title for 112 years. Now, after over a century, another Indian novelist is being touted among the frontrunners of the Nobel Prize in Literature 2025.
According to Mathilde Montpetit, a PhD candidate at New York University, who is known for winning her bets for four straight years, Amitav Ghosh is set to win the prestigious award.
“Ghosh writes both fiction and non-fiction, has won a bunch of other major prizes (but not too many), and his perspective on colonialism, the Opium Wars and their contemporary impact is just the kind of stuff that the committee loves,” she wrote in a column for Berliner.
In an interview with The Washington Post, Montpetit said that the judges this year would focus on works that deal with climate change, which Ghosh has already explored in his books.
“I feel they might go climate change.”
According to Nicerodds, which compares betting odds from different bookmakers, Indian author Amitav Ghosh is currently placed at the top.
Who is Amitav Ghosh?
Winner of the Jnanpith award, India’s highest literary honour, Amitav Ghosh is one of the most prominent contemporary writers of the country.
Born in Kolkata in 1956, Ghosh studied at The Doon School, Dehradun, and earned a doctorate in social anthropology at the University of Oxford.
He worked at news organisations before publishing his first novel, The Circle of Reason, in 1986.
Ghosh has addressed implications of the First Opium War in his Ibis trilogy, on which he worked from 2004 till 2015.
His historical fictions include The Shadow Lines (1988), The Calcutta Chromosome (1996), The Glass Palace (2000), The Hungry Tide (2004), and Gun Island (2019).
