Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Market Saturation

    High competition in the aromatics market can drive prices down, affecting margins.

  • Seasonal Supply

    Fresh roses are seasonal; lack of consistent supply can disrupt production schedules.

  • Quality Control

    Contamination or inconsistent extraction can lead to product recalls and regulatory penalties.

  • Regulatory Compliance

    Must meet FSSAI and cosmetic safety standards; non‑compliance can halt sales.
