Watch-outs
Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification
Supply Chain Disruptions
Fluctuations in steel and plastic prices or delays from suppliers can halt production. Mitigate by securing long‑term contracts and maintaining safety stock.
Quality Compliance
Electric irons must meet BIS safety standards and IEC 60335. Non‑compliance leads to recalls and legal penalties.
Market Competition
The segment is crowded with established brands. Differentiate through price, durability, and after‑sales service.
Cash Flow Management
High upfront capital and inventory costs require disciplined cash flow; plan for working capital gaps during initial months.
