Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Raw material sourcing volatility

    Dependence on seasonal availability of citronella and eucalyptus oils may cause cost fluctuations; ensure backup suppliers.

  • Quality compliance

    Moulds must meet BIS standards for insect repellent efficacy; non-compliance can lead to product rejection.

  • Regulatory updates

    PMEGP scheme rules may change; verify current guidelines before finalizing capital plan.

  • Supply chain disruptions

    Lockdowns or transport delays can affect distribution; maintain buffer stock of finished moulds.
