Samadhan Projects
The pitch
Produce and sell traditional Indian sweet chikki (peanut brittle) using a small-scale manufacturing unit.
Retail shops, local markets, online platforms (e.g., e-commerce, social media), and direct sales to food stalls. Set up a 200 sq m plant with a 5 kW grinder, 2 kW mixer, and a 1 kW heat source. Implement a quality control station for ingredient testing and final product inspection. Maintain inventory of raw materials and finished goods to meet demand cycles.
₹24,56,000 sample cost covers: construction of a 200 sq m production facility, purchase of a 5 kW grinder, 2 kW mixer, packaging line, initial raw material stock (peanuts, jaggery, spices), packaging materials, and working capital for the first 3 months.
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
Food Safety Compliance
Ensure FSSAI registration and adherence to food safety standards; non-compliance can halt production.
Supply Chain Stability
Secure reliable suppliers for peanuts and jaggery; price volatility can affect margins.
Capital Utilization
Monitor cash flow closely; over-investment in inventory can strain working capital.
Market Saturation
Local chikki markets may be crowded; differentiate through packaging or flavor variants.
Labor Regulations
Comply with labor laws for hiring; violations can lead to penalties.
