Raw material price volatility
Alcohol-based sanitizer ingredients subject to frequent price spikes; budget 15-20% buffer
Regulatory compliance
Must comply with Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) standards for hand sanitizers and Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) requirements for dispensers
Market competition
High competition from local manufacturers; differentiation through hygiene certification and durability of foot pedal mechanism
