Key Risk Factors

5. Promoter Conflict Risk
   The promoter previously operated a similar proprietorship business. Although closed with a non-compete undertaking, any perceived conflict may impact investor confidence.

   Operating margins are vulnerable to cost inflation, contract renegotiations, and competitive pricing, which could affect long-term profitability.
