Watch-outs
Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification
FSSAI Compliance
Ensure timely registration and adherence to food safety standards; non‑compliance can halt production.
Supply Chain Reliability
Secure consistent supply of high‑quality syrup and packaging materials to avoid production stoppages.
Capital Recovery
Initial capital is heavily tied up in fixed assets; plan for a realistic payback period and maintain a cash buffer.
Market Competition
Local beverage brands and national players dominate; differentiate through niche flavors or packaging.
Environmental Clearance
Obtain necessary environmental clearances for effluent disposal and waste management.
