Who buys & when

Demand shape for this sample line — advisory, not a market study.

Buyers

Households, sweet shops, and local institutions (hostels, canteens) are the primary demand base for small dairy units.

Channels

Retail counters
Home delivery
HORECA / sweet shops

Seasonality: Steady year-round; Daily offtake matters more than seasons; festival mithai demand can still create short peaks.
Locality: Hyperlocal; Fresh dairy is usually a short-radius business unless you invest in cold chain and packing.

Demand watch-out: Spoilage and collection reliability set the ceiling on real demand — not the sample capacity figure alone.
