Sugar and starch prices can fluctuate, impacting cost of goods sold.
Shelf life and packaging compliance
Petha has a limited shelf life; proper packaging and storage are essential to meet FSSAI standards.
Seasonal demand fluctuations
Demand spikes during festivals; plan inventory and staffing accordingly.
Competition from established brands
Local and regional brands may dominate shelf space; differentiation through unique flavors and branding is key.
Regulatory compliance delays
Obtaining FSSAI license and GST registration can take several weeks; plan for this lead time.
