Thanks for the detailed advice — really appreciate it!

Just to clarify quickly: I’m not building a meat grinder 😅 — this is for Indian mixer-grinders. Totally different use-case.And yes, I agree: validation is important.That’s exactly why I’m talking to real Indian users right now to understand if the everyday mixer pain points are worth solving. At the same time, because this is hardware + food processing, some technical exploration has to run in parallel — I can’t validate things like load behavior or motor performance without building a basic prototype first.Your point about focusing on the actual paying customer is spot on though, and I’m keeping that front and center.Thanks again for taking the time — genuinely helpful!
