India is celebrating Arattai’s growth as a win for digital sovereignty. But we’re missing the bigger point. Arattai is being built as closed infrastructure — the opposite of the open system that made UPI a global success. With UPI, you can send money from GPay to PhonePe — because they share one open network. But with messaging, you can’t text someone on WhatsApp from Arattai - each app lives in its own bubble. True digital sovereignty isn’t about replacing foreign platforms with Indian ones. It’s about building infrastructure so fair and open that innovation happens without permission. UPI proved the model works. Messaging should follow the same blueprint.
