Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Raw Material Sourcing

    Dependence on seasonal mulberry silk and natural dyes may cause supply chain delays.

  • Skilled Labor Dependency

    Requires artisans with expertise in hand-weaving and natural dyeing; training costs may apply.

  • Export Compliance

    Must adhere to international quality certifications (e.g., OEKO-TEX) for global buyers.

  • Seasonal Demand

    Higher demand during festive seasons; inventory planning critical to avoid overstocking.

  • Price Volatility

    Fluctuations in silk prices and exchange rates may impact profit margins.
