Watch-outs
Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification
Cold Chain Reliability
Maintaining consistent refrigeration is critical; any power outage or equipment failure can spoil inventory.
Seasonal Demand Fluctuations
Ice cream sales peak in hot months; plan inventory and marketing to smooth out off‑season dips.
Regulatory Compliance for Food Safety
FSSAI licensing, hygiene certifications, and regular inspections must be met to avoid shutdowns.
Ingredient Cost Volatility
Milk and fruit prices can vary; lock in supplier contracts and maintain buffer stock.
Competition from Established Brands
Differentiation through local flavors and quality is essential to capture market share.
