Red Envelope: Good Force for Social Impact

According to the State of the Global Islamic Economy Report, the
Islamic Finance sector is fast becoming a force to be reckoned
with, especially in the Islamic financial hubs of the GCC,
Malaysia and London, along with formidable new players such as
Indonesia and Pakistan. The Islamic finance industry is
forecasted to grow by 7.7 percent CAGR to reach US $3.8 trillion
by 2023.


With 1.8 billion Muslims across 58 Muslim-majority countries of
the world (approximately one-quarter of entire population), what
are the challenges and opportunities in these markets?


In this new podcast episode of Red Envelope, Rafi-uddin Shikoh
joins Arun Krishnakumar and Theodora Lau for an inspirational
discussion of the momentum of the Islamic economy, its global
ethical impact, and what the future holds. Rafi has spent the
last few years in marketing strategy, e-business strategy, and
technology management experience with small to Fortune 500 ranked
companies. He had been a Vice President with Marsh Inc, a global
risk-brokerage firm, where he led and successfully delivered
multi-million dollar knowledge management.


Rafi stuck gold when he started Dinar Standard, a research
company focused on Islamic finance. The firm has since grown from
strength to strength, and has become a global standard in Islamic
finance research. Rafi shares his journeys that led to him
starting the firm, and provides insights on the global shariah
market.
