The pitch

Manufactures and sells cricket gloves for local and online markets.

Retail sports stores, e‑commerce platforms (Amazon, Flipkart), direct sales to sports clubs and schools. Set up a 2‑stage production line: cutting & stitching followed by quality inspection. Maintain a buffer inventory of finished gloves to meet seasonal spikes.

₹11,93,000 sample cost covers a 200 sq ft manufacturing unit, glove‑cutting and stitching machinery, initial raw material stock (leather, synthetic fibers), packaging, and working capital for the first 3 months.

Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Raw material price volatility

    Leather and synthetic fibers can fluctuate; lock in long‑term contracts to stabilize costs.

  • Seasonal demand fluctuations

    Peak demand during cricket season; plan inventory and staffing accordingly.

  • Compliance with safety standards

    Ensure gloves meet Indian sports safety norms and obtain necessary certifications.

  • Competition from imports

    Imported gloves may undercut prices; differentiate through local branding and quality.

  • Skilled labor availability

    Need trained stitchers; consider on‑the‑job training to reduce turnover.
