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.
