Zoho’s messaging app Arattai is adding a direct integration with MapmyIndia’s navigation service Mappls, allowing users to open shared locations from within chat conversations. When a user taps a location shared in an Arattai message, the app prompts them to open it with Mappls, with options to use it once or always.
The partnership is framed by both brands as making location sharing smoother, linking Arattai’s “Till I Reach” style live location sharing with Mappls mapping. Free Press Journal describes how the feature works on both iOS and Android, including the prompt language and the choice between one-time or always-open behavior. It also links the update to earlier discussion on X and positions the deal as part of a broader push toward homegrown alternatives.
India Today presents the same integration in a simpler, headline-focused way, emphasizing the collaboration between Arattai and Mappls. Across outlets, the common theme is more convenient routing from conversation to destination using domestic services, rather than switching to external mapping apps.
