Geographic Concentration Risk
Primarily focused on the Indian domestic market with a pan-India distribution network.
Third Party Dependencies
High dependency on third-party contract manufacturers for the entire production volume, making quality control and vendor stability critical.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
