Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Land Lease Delays

    Securing a suitable 200 m² plot may take longer than expected, impacting start‑up timeline.

  • Machinery Lead Time

    CNC cutting and embossing presses have long procurement cycles; delays can postpone production.

  • Skilled Labor Shortage

    Finding artisans skilled in block printing and machine operation may require targeted recruitment.

  • Compliance Documentation

    Missing or incomplete GST, labor, or subsidy paperwork can delay approvals and fund disbursement.
