Samadhan Projects
The pitch
Manufacture and sell hand‑made colored crayons using eco‑friendly wax and natural pigments.
Retail shops, school and stationery outlets, e‑commerce platforms (Amazon, Flipkart) and direct bulk sales to schools. The unit will run a 5‑day shift, producing 10,000 crayons per month. Quality control checks will be performed at the end of each batch, and finished goods will be stored in a climate‑controlled warehouse before distribution.
Sample capital requirement ₹24,46,000 covers setting up a 200 sq m production unit, procurement of wax, pigments, moulds, packaging machinery, initial inventory of raw materials, quality control setup, and working capital for the first 6 months.
Demand shape for this sample line — advisory, not a market study.
Buyers
Local households and small businesses are the default demand base for Samadhan sample lines unless the product name points to a clearer pack.
Channels
Demand watch-out: Generic demand assumptions fail when the product is highly specialized — validate with local buyers before locking capacity.

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification
Raw material price volatility
Wax and pigment prices can fluctuate; secure long‑term contracts or maintain a buffer stock.
Shelf life and storage
Crayons have a long shelf life but require dry, cool storage to prevent melting; ensure proper warehouse conditions.
Regulatory compliance
Obtain necessary GST registration and comply with any food‑grade or child‑safety standards if marketed as eco‑friendly.
Market saturation
The stationery market is competitive; differentiate through eco‑friendly branding and unique color blends.
