The project addresses a valid problem in the Indian agricultural supply chain, specifically regarding niche crops. However, the submission suffers from critical credibility issues, including hyperbolic claims of traction ('most people have used my product') and a lack of verifiable evidence. The technical description is irrelevant ('film'), and the project has no significant digital footprint despite a claimed 2021 launch. The response quality is extremely low, suggesting a lack of seriousness or a placeholder submission.
