External Factors
Industry Trends
The global hair wigs and extensions industry is seeing sustained double-digit growth, with a clear consumer preference shift toward human hair over synthetic alternatives due to health risks.
Competitive Landscape
Faces intense competition from the unorganized sector and manufacturers of synthetic hair substitutes.
Competitive Moat
The moat is built on an established low-cost procurement system for human hair in India, which is difficult for international competitors to replicate at the same cost efficiency.

Consumer Behavior
Increasing health consciousness is driving consumers away from synthetic hair, which is perceived to cause allergic reactions and cancer.
Geopolitical Risks
Vulnerable to changes in international trade regimes and government regulations in export destinations.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Operations are governed by the Companies Act 2013, SEBI (LODR) Regulations 2015, and international standards for hair product safety.

Third Party Dependencies
High dependency on the top 5 customers for revenue stability.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
