Tech Mahindra Website Accessibility Statement 

Introduction

Tech Mahindra is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards. This statement reflects our goal of adhering to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 standards and striving to enhance accessibility.

Accessibility Standards

The following principles from WCAG 2.2 guide our accessibility efforts:

  1. Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive.
  2. Operable: User interface components and navigation must be operable.
  3. Understandable: Information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable.
  4. Robust: Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.

Statement Components

1. Alternative Text for Images

  • All images on the Tech Mahindra website will have descriptive alternative text (alt text) that conveys the meaning and context of the image.

  • Skip navigation links will be provided to allow users to bypass repetitive content.

4. Color Contrast and Text Resizing

  • Text and images of text will have a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1, except for large text (which should have a contrast ratio of at least 3:1) and incidental text or images.
  • Users can resize text up to 200% without losing content or functionality.

5. Keyboard Accessibility
