Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Seasonal demand

    Orders peak during school sports seasons; cash flow may dip in monsoon months.

  • Raw material quality

    Ash wood and sandalwood prices fluctuate; must source from verified timber depots to maintain stick quality.

  • Skill retention

    Artisan workforce is limited locally; training costs and attrition can affect production consistency.
