This is the first of what I’d like to make a habit: a plain account of what we’ve shipped, without the launch-day theatrics. No countdown, no promise that we’ve reimagined signing. Just what’s new, what it does for you, and why we thought it was worth building.
Three things this time.
Multi-signer Aadhaar eSign
More than one person can now Aadhaar-sign the same document.
Aadhaar signing has generally been built around one signer at a time. That’s perfectly fine for an offer letter or a single-party form. It’s less fine for a vendor agreement with three parties, a partnership deed, or any contract where several people each need to put a legally valid Indian signature on the same page.
Now each signer completes their own Aadhaar authentication on the same document, in their own time, from wherever they happen to be. Nobody has to be in the same room, or the same city. When the last person is done you get one completed document carrying every signature, with the full audit trail behind it.
Multi-party contracts are where the old way hurts most. Getting four people around a table, or couriering paper between three cities, is how a week quietly disappears. It’s also where costs add up fastest, since a document with four signatories is four times the work however you handle it.
If you want the mechanics — how the OTP flow works, the licensed provider that performs the signing, why it holds up legally — we wrote that up plainly in Aadhaar eSign, explained.
Automatic signature reminders
Envelopes rarely die because somebody said no. They die of silence.
Someone opens the email on a Tuesday, means to deal with it after the next meeting, and it slides down the inbox. A week later the deal is still open and nobody has actually decided anything.
So we built the follow-up in, and made it polite: a signer who hasn’t acted gets an automatic reminder — a daily nudge, capped, so it stays a reminder and never becomes harassment. You don’t schedule it, and you don’t have to remember it.
The point is that you stop being the chasing mechanism. Anyone who has sent a contract on Monday and spent Thursday drafting a gentle “just circling back on this” email knows exactly how much of the job that is.
It matters most when you’re sending in volume. If you’re running onboarding — offer letter, NDA, policy acknowledgements, all going out in the same week to the same person — the difference between reminders that happen on their own and reminders you have to remember is the difference between a process and a chore. We wrote about that workflow in how HR teams onboard in minutes.
Faster, steadier Aadhaar signing
Underneath all this, Aadhaar signing is quicker and holds up better when a lot is going through at once. Transient network problems are handled automatically in the background, so a slow moment on the wire stays a slow moment rather than becoming your problem.
Most people will never notice this one. That’s rather the point of it.
What’s next
Honestly, mostly whatever people ask us for. Multi-signer went to the front of the queue because customers kept describing the same shape of contract and the same workaround. Reminders got built because the pattern showed up over and over: the document wasn’t rejected, it was just forgotten.
So if there’s something that would make signing genuinely easier for you — a workflow we’ve missed, a step that still takes longer than it should — tell me. It’s connect@accordsign.app, and I read them.
