Amit Shah Switches to Zoho Mail, Shares New Email

Amit Shah's switch to Zoho Mail highlights the government’s push for digital self-reliance amid trade tensions and growing data privacy concerns, with wider adoption expected soon.

  • On Wednesday, October 8, 2025, Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced on X that he has switched to Zoho Mail and shared his new official email for future correspondence.
  • Amid the government's 'Digital Swadeshi' push, rising US trade pressures and tariffs as high as 50% have intensified the atmanirbhar Bharat drive to reduce foreign technology reliance.
  • Amit Shah's 23-word post on X quoted, saying `Hello everyone, I have switched to Zoho Mail...`, was widely read as a Trump-like, theatrical announcement.
  • Within minutes, the post began trending and was hailed by BJP supporters as a 'nationalist nudge' while critics called it political theatre, and Zoho co-founder Sridhar Vembu thanked Shah as a proud moment for Indian engineers.
  • Recently, the Education Ministry directed officials to use Zoho Office Suite, and IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw moved to Zoho last month, signaling broader government adoption.
