The pitch

Produces multi-fruit juice and squash by sourcing seasonal fruits (mango, guava, papaya, pineapple), washing, extracting, blending, pasteurizing, and bottling into PET bottles and glass bottles for retail sale.

Sells to local grocery stores, vegetable markets, school canteens, and direct-to-consumer via neighborhood retail outlets; distribution through local wholesalers and weekly haats in nearby towns. Daily operations involve fruit sourcing from local farmers, sorting, washing, extraction, blending per recipe, HTST pasteurization, and bottling with strict hygiene protocols; requires 2 trained operators and 1 quality checker.

Sample/template project cost: ₹24,80,000. Covers a 1200 sq ft built-up processing unit, fruit washing and extraction equipment, pasteurizer, bottling line, storage tanks, packaging materials, and initial working capital for raw fruit procurement.

Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Raw material seasonality

    Fruit availability and pricing fluctuate heavily across seasons; maintain buffer stock planning and alternate fruit sourcing to ensure consistent production.

  • Cold chain dependency

    Juice and squash require temperature-controlled storage and distribution; inadequate refrigeration can lead to spoilage and regulatory rejection.

  • Food safety licensing

    FSSAI basic or state license mandatory; ensure proper waste water treatment and pest control to pass inspections.

  • Shelf-life management

    Short shelf life demands efficient inventory rotation and reliable distribution network to avoid batch expiry and losses.
