Watch-outs
Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification
Regulatory approvals for cosmetics
Ensure FSSAI and BIS certifications; delays can halt production.
Quality consistency
Batch‑to‑batch variation can affect shelf life; invest in robust SOPs.
Supply chain volatility
Fluctuating prices of herbal extracts may impact cost; lock in contracts.
Capital recovery timeline
High fixed costs mean longer payback; plan for at least 3 years of sales before breakeven.
