Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Raw material price volatility

    Marble prices can fluctuate due to supply constraints; lock in bulk contracts to mitigate risk.

  • Skilled labor shortage

    Demand for experienced inlay artisans is high; consider training programs to build a reliable workforce.

  • Compliance with environmental norms

    Ensure proper waste disposal and dust control to meet local environmental regulations.

  • Cash flow timing

    Large upfront material costs may strain cash flow; plan for staggered procurement and secure working capital.

  • Market demand fluctuations

    Luxury interior demand can be cyclical; diversify client base across hotels, residential, and commercial sectors.
