Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Raw material price volatility

    Coir pith prices can fluctuate due to seasonal supply variations; secure long‑term supply contracts to mitigate risk.

  • Quality control issues

    Inconsistent pith density or moisture content can affect block strength; implement strict QC SOPs and regular testing.

  • Market demand fluctuations

    Demand for eco‑insulation may vary with construction cycles; diversify customer base and explore niche markets.

  • Compliance with environmental norms

    Ensure proper waste disposal and obtain environmental clearance; non‑compliance can halt operations.
