Mumbai, July 2025 – Hurix Digital loves reinventing the way people share and learn online. Their newest project shows just how serious they are about that mission. So, they’ve taken 29,000 PDFs and turned them into accessible gold, hitting WCAG 2.1 AA standards. This move is more than a tech showcase; its goal is to make the digital world accessible to everyone regardless of ability.
For too long, schools and healthcare providers have been stuck scratching their heads. How do you get digital content to work for students who rely on screen readers or need bigger text? Or for patients who can’t figure out a PDF about their meds? Hurix Digital rolled up their sleeves and sorted it out, big time.
Gokulnath Balasubramanian, Vice President of Content Transformation at Hurix Digital, couldn’t hold his enthusiasm. “We are excited to partner with leading organizations in education and healthcare to make their resources accessible to everyone. This collaboration captures our work at Hurix Digital: breaking down barriers and ensuring no one is excluded from vital information.”
A client team rep kept it real: “Thanks to Hurix, our platform is now accessible to a wider audience. Their ongoing support has been crucial in maintaining compliance.”
Why is this project a big deal? Hurix converted PDF archives into accessible format, adding alt text for images, enabling keyboard-only navigation, and filing fonts and colors that hold up when users zoom in. Students can now hit the books without tripping over barriers, and patients can get the lowdown on their health without a headache. Total game-changer.
The ripple effect is enormous. Schools can now claim they are leveling the playing field, whether students are in the classroom or relaxing at home. Healthcare is reaching people it could not before; honestly, that kind of progress matters. Yes, it meets the WCAG 2.1 AA standard, but this work goes beyond compliance. It is also about building trust and doing what is right.
Here’s the kicker: Hurix didn’t just bolt on some accessibility hacks and bounce. They made it smooth and natural, so it feels good to use whether you need the extras or not. Makes you wonder why this wasn’t the standard ages ago.
