Watch-outs
Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification
Raw material price volatility
Chicken prices fluctuate seasonally; need forward contracts or buffer stock to protect margins.
Cold‑chain compliance
Continuous ‑18 °C storage and transport required; any break triggers product recall and FSSAI penalties.
FSSAI & HACCP licensing
Must obtain FSSAI Central License and implement a documented HACCP plan before commercial production.
Waste & effluent management
Processing generates organic waste and oil‑laden effluent; requires Pollution Control Board consent and treatment setup.
Intense competition from branded players
Established brands dominate shelf space; differentiation via price, pack size, or niche (e.g., antibiotic‑free) is essential.
Education gate
