Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Land/Lease Availability

    Secure a suitable 10 m² plot with necessary utilities; zoning approvals can delay start-up.

  • Machinery Lead Time

    Procurement of specialized tandoor components may take 4–6 weeks; plan buffer in schedule.

  • Quality Compliance

    Ensure IEC safety certification and FSSAI compliance for food equipment to avoid product recalls.

  • Cash Flow Management

    Initial working capital must cover raw material inventory; monitor inventory turnover closely.

  • Market Penetration

    Competition from existing gas tandoors; differentiate via cleaner operation and lower running cost.
