Zoho's messaging app Arattai has introduced a new feature that allows users to open shared locations directly in Mappls, MapmyIndia's navigation platform. This move aims to make location sharing even more convenient for Indian users.
When a user receives a shared location in an Arattai chat, they can now tap on the location to open it in Mappls, alongside Google Maps and Apple Maps. The app's iOS release notes confirm that this integration is now available.
The integration was proposed by a user on X in October 2025, and MapmyIndia's Director Rohan Verma expressed his company's willingness to make it happen. The partnership is part of a broader initiative to provide locally-relevant alternatives to global apps.
Arattai, developed by Zoho and based in Chennai, positions itself as an Indian alternative to WhatsApp, offering features like live location tracking. Mappls, on the other hand, was created by MapmyIndia to meet the specific needs of Indian users in terms of navigation. This integration bridges the gap between two prominent domestic alternatives to global apps, providing Arattai users with a local mapping option for locations they encounter in their conversations.
