Key findings

1 of 21 stores let some AI agents in but turned others away at the firewall.
ChatGPT and Perplexity agents were each refused by 4 of 21 stores.
3 of 21 stores didn't let any of our visits through, so AI agents likely can't read them at all.
11 of 21 stores let AI agents search, build a cart and check out through the Universal Commerce Protocol.
10 of 18 reachable stores describe their products in the structured data AI agents read.

Couldn't be scored

These stores didn't let our browser-like visit or any of the AI agents we sent through (blocked, challenged or no answer), so there was nothing fair to score.

How we measured

Each store got the same audit as AgentReady's free check: robots.txt rules, live visits as five ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude agents, three sampled product pages, the Universal Commerce Protocol profile, policies and sitemap.
The score weights access 30%, product data 30%, agentic commerce 15%, trust 15% and discovery 10%.
Audits ran from our servers in Singapore. Real AI agents visit from their companies' own networks, so firewall results are a strong signal, not proof.
Lists are chosen by hand from well-known Indian brands and refreshed monthly. Last run September 26, 2026.
