The Artai app is created by Joho Corporation. It was launched in 2021. Aratai means ‘Casual Chat’ in Tamil.

2. Question: Who made Aratai?

Aratai has been developed by Joho Corporation, a headquarters company in Chennai. The company was started in 1996 by Sridhar Vembu and Tony Thomas.

It is providing service to more than 130 million users in 150 countries of the world today. Joho has more than 55 business applications. These include email, CRM, HR, Accounting and Project Management Tools.

3. Question: Why did the app suddenly become a hyp?

These people are suddenly downloading due to ‘Made in India’ tag, privacy-friendly design and open support from the government.

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan tweeted and asked people to adopt domestic digital solutions.

4. Question: Which phone will run on which phone?

The special feature of Aratai is that it comes with a low-bandwidth conference feature. That is, it also works in areas where the internet connection runs weak or intermittently. This app will also run easily on low -priced smartphones.
