Watch-outs
Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification
High Raw Material Cost Volatility
Fabric prices can fluctuate sharply; lock in bulk contracts or maintain a buffer stock to mitigate cost spikes.
Seasonal Demand Fluctuations
Demand for ladies suits peaks during festivals and wedding seasons; plan production batches and inventory accordingly.
Compliance with Labor Laws
Ensure all workers are registered under the Shops and Establishments Act and receive statutory benefits to avoid penalties.
Cash Flow Management
Maintain a tight cash‑flow schedule; early sales receipts are essential to cover raw material purchases and payroll.
