Watch-outs
Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification
Food Safety Licensing
FSSAI basic or state license mandatory before commercial production; processing without approval invites penalties.
Shelf-Life Management
Biscuits and cookies have short shelf life; inventory rotation and moisture control are critical to avoid wastage.
Power and Fuel Costs
Continuous baking operations demand high electricity and LPG/gas supply; factor in backup power arrangements.
Packaging Compliance
Must use food-grade, labeled packaging with nutritional and allergen declarations per FSSAI standards.
