She does not feel it is a scalable business that can be stretched to PAN India and for the same reason, she is out.
Ghazal Alakh
She said that the brand is very fascinating and grabs the attention of people but she can not invest in this business. She is out.
Anupam Mittal
The point is that the beverage category has a dead end because distribution is very high required. People have to close their business even after touching to 100 Crores. Anupam does not feel any differentiated product for this reason he is out.

Logistics and Central costs are a challenge for Peyush. He has a great knowledge of the Franchise business and suggested he bring automation into the business and focus on central logistics. For today he is out.
