The Opportunity
During major Hindu festivals like Panguni Peruvizha, caterers refuse bulk annadhanam orders because of LPG shortages — they can't cook for 5,000+ people without gas. Temple committees and event organisers are forced to find workarounds (firewood, ice cream substitutes, menu cuts). A catering service that cooks using alternative fuels (firewood, biogas, solar ovens, or pre-cooked wholesale) can capture this unmet demand during festival season.
Market Size₹280 Cr addressable market annually — covers 12 major annual temple festivals across South India with 500+ temples doing annadhanam, averaging ₹50-60 lakh per f
Why NowGST registration (5% for food catering), FSSAI food safety license, food handler certificates for all staff, municipal shop act registration, fire safety clearance for firewood setup, PUC for transport vehicle.
