The story
Why we built Accordsign.
We started Accordsign because the eSignature market had settled into two kinds of product: enterprise tools priced for Fortune 500 budgets, and free-tier tools that fall over the moment a signature has to hold up. Neither works for a business that sends a handful of contracts a week and needs every one of them to stand.
We started where we were. India has 36 million small businesses, most of them signing on paper or on trust, and the tools sold to them either ignored Indian law or charged extra for it. Building for that market first is why Aadhaar eSign is on every plan rather than an enterprise add-on. It is not a limit on who the product is for — customers sign under the US ESIGN Act and UETA, under India's IT Act 2000, and under the equivalent frameworks elsewhere.
So we built Accordsign with three commitments:
- Indian compliance, not bolted on. Aadhaar eSign is included on every plan. Not an enterprise upsell. Not a separate product. A signature option you can pick at any time, for ₹20$0.25.
- Transparent pricing. ₹200$5 for a 5-document pack. ₹20$0.25 for an Aadhaar signature. No "contact sales" gates on the small-business tier.
- The simplicity of consumer software. If a freelancer signing their first NDA can't figure it out in 30 seconds, we built it wrong.
We're builders, not sellers. Our team is small. Our infrastructure is professional. Our prices are deliberately uncomfortable for incumbents.
We're not chasing the Fortune 500. We're trying to make signing accessible for the 36 million Indian businesses, the freelancers building their first contracts, and the founders sending their first offer letter.
