Watch-outs
Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification
Raw Material Price Volatility
Leather and rubber prices can fluctuate, impacting cost of goods sold. Secure long‑term supplier contracts and consider hedging options.
Compliance with Footwear Safety Standards
Ensure all products meet Indian footwear safety norms (e.g., IS 2060). Non‑compliance can lead to recalls and legal penalties.
Market Entry Barriers
Established sports brands dominate retail channels. Differentiate through niche designs, local customization, or competitive pricing.
Cash Flow Timing
Initial capital is tied up in inventory and machinery; ensure timely sales to cover operating expenses and loan repayments.
Labor Law Compliance
Adhere to the Factories Act, Minimum Wages Act, and Employee Provident Fund regulations to avoid fines and litigation.
