Client: A Sector 24 spice-grinding and packing unit, approximately 30 employees.
Situation: Expanding from local supply to multi-state dispatch; needed to move from State to Central Licence and add an AGMARK grade for institutional buyers.
Approach: Filed the Central Licence with updated capacity and product list, ran AGMARK registration on AQCMS in parallel, and sequenced the HSPCB consent renewal so inspections didn't clash.
Outcome: Central Licence and AGMARK certificate both issued; first interstate dispatch went out licensed.
