Almost no one argues against making websites accessible. So why do 95.9% of sites still fail WCAG? The answer is rarely intent — it’s economics. A thorough manual accessibility audit takes weeks of specialist time, costs accordingly, and is usually delivered in English. So it gets done once, filed away, and never repeated as the site keeps changing.
That model was never going to keep a living website compliant — least of all in a country as linguistically diverse as India.
Accessibility drifts every time you ship
A site that passed an audit last year almost certainly doesn’t today. New templates, new content, a redesigned form, a third-party widget — each can quietly reintroduce contrast failures, missing labels, or keyboard traps. A once-a-year audit can’t catch drift that happens weekly.
The India-specific gap
Compliance here isn’t only WCAG. Government properties must meet GIGW 3.0; there’s Bhashini-aligned language support to consider; and reporting an audit in English alone doesn’t serve teams working across India’s many languages. A generic Western accessibility tool simply doesn’t speak to this landscape.
What changes when an audit takes seconds
A11ySutra runs six specialised AI agents across your site and returns a full audit against WCAG, GIGW 3.0, and Bhashini requirements in around 17 seconds — with the report available in 22 Indic languages, at a fraction of the cost of manual review. When an audit is that fast and that cheap, accessibility stops being an annual project and becomes a check you run on every release.
Built for India’s compliance landscape
That combination — AI speed plus India-specific standards and languages — is exactly what generic tools miss, and it’s what makes continuous compliance realistic for government agencies, EdTech, financial institutions, and large enterprises.
If your last audit is gathering dust, run a fresh A11ySutra scan and see what’s drifted.
