Halal market expands rapidly, set to hit $12 trillion by 2030

By Syed Ali Mujtaba*  
The global halal economy is experiencing unprecedented growth, with projections estimating its worth at $12 trillion by 2030. Over the past nine years, the industry has expanded at a remarkable pace, says Mohamed Jinna, founder and director of Halal India, a private limited company.  
Jinna highlights the phenomenal growth of the halal sector, noting that it initially stood at $1 trillion. However, due to rigorous efforts in halal certification and accreditation, the market has surged to a valuation of $8 trillion. Looking ahead, it is expected to reach an astounding $12 trillion within the next five years.  
While halal products have traditionally catered to Muslim consumers, the industry has gained increasing traction among non-Muslims as well, drawn by its reputation for quality, safety, and reliability.  
Jinna’s vision for Halal India extends beyond food certification—it embodies a holistic approach to life. He firmly believes that halal is not merely about dietary practices but a comprehensive philosophy that promotes ethical consumerism and well-being.  
His commitment to the halal movement remains steadfast, driven by a passion to foster a world where access to safe, healthy, and nutritious food is universal. For Jinna, halal principles serve as a foundation for global unity and harmony.  
"Let’s unite in promoting the principles of halal, which not only enhance our quality of life but also bring us together as a global community," Jinna often emphasizes.  
As a visionary leader, he continues to inspire a new generation to join his noble mission of building an inclusive and peaceful world. His work at Halal India stands as a testament to his dedication and transformative vision.

Beyond data: The economist who refused to remain in the ivory tower

By Vikas Meshram   There are few people who are born into privilege yet choose to dedicate their lives to the cause of the poor. Jean Drèze is one such individual. Born on January 22, 1959, in Leuven, Belgium, into the family of a distinguished economist, Drèze has become one of the most influential voices in the study of poverty, inequality, and social policy in India. Having lived in India since 1979, he adopted Indian citizenship in 2002 and has since played a pivotal role in shaping some of the country's most important welfare initiatives.
