Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

Raw Material Sourcing
Ensure reliable supply of polymer and chemical-grade ingredients; check PMEGP-approved vendor lists.
Regulatory Compliance
Adhere to FSSAI and cosmetic product regulations; obtain necessary licenses for manufacturing and sale.
Market Competition
Differentiate product through branding or niche positioning; avoid price wars with established brands.
Production Scalability
Plan for demand fluctuations; avoid overproduction without assured sales channels.
Labor Skills
Train workers in machinery operation and hygiene practices; PMEGP may offer skill development support.
