The counter-case
The case against this reading — not reported by the source.
The funding may accelerate expansion before the brand has proven that its Gujarat-centric product appeal, pricing, and operating model travel nationally. Scaling perishable or freshness-sensitive snacks and sweets increases quality-control, inventory, logistics, and returns risk, while competing against entrenched regional brands and national packaged-food players. New manufacturing capacity could also become underutilized if institutional and retail distribution ramps slower than planned.
