The pitch
Produces chicory root powder by sourcing dried chicory roots, cleaning, drying, grinding, and passing through a 60-80 mesh sieve; packaged in food-grade HDPE bags for distribution.
Sells to local grocery wholesalers, institutional canteens, and regional spice markets in MP and neighboring states; distribution via direct supply to retailers and small-scale food processors. Daily throughput of 500–700 kg of dried chicory roots; requires consistent raw material sourcing from local farmers and basic quality checks before grinding and packaging.
Sample/template cost is ₹22,82,000 covering land (1,200 sq ft), a 200 sq ft processing shed, grinding and sieving machinery, packaging equipment, and initial raw material inventory.
Demand shape for this sample line — advisory, not a market study.
Buyers
Local households and small businesses are the default demand base for Samadhan sample lines unless the product name points to a clearer pack.
Channels
Demand watch-out: Generic demand assumptions fail when the product is highly specialized — validate with local buyers before locking capacity.

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification
Raw Material Sourcing
Chicory roots are seasonal; secure long-term contracts with local farmers to avoid supply disruptions during peak processing months.
Food Safety Compliance
Must obtain FSSAI basic registration and follow hygiene standards; non-compliance can halt sales to institutional buyers.
Market Price Volatility
Chicory powder prices fluctuate with demand from textile and food industries; maintain buffer margins to handle price dips.
Storage and Pest Control
Finished goods and raw roots are prone to moisture and pest damage; invest in covered, ventilated storage and regular fumigation.
