Commerce ministry issues draft guidelines for certification of halal meat products

meat

In an effort to make the halal certification process more efficient for meat and meat product exports from India, the DGFT, a department of the Ministry specializing in import and export issues, has created guidelines on halal certification.

According to the Ministry of Commerce, meat and meat products can only be exported with a “halal certified” label if they are manufactured, processed, and packaged in a facility holding a valid certificate issued by a Quality Council of India-accredited body. This requirement applies to industry professionals.

The Ministry also stated that the process for exporting meat and meat products without halal certification will remain the same. Additionally, for export shipments to countries with halal regulations, the producer, supplier, or exporter must comply with the importing country’s requirements.

In a notification, the DGFT stated that policy conditions for halal certification of meat and meat products have been established. It further stated that all current halal certification bodies must obtain accreditation from the NABCB (National Accreditation Board for Certification Bodies) for ICAS (Indian Conformity Assessment Scheme) halal within six months.

The notification said, “Meat and meat products shall be allowed to be exported as ‘halal certified’, only if produced, processed, and/or packaged in facilities having a valid certification under the iCAS of the Quality Council of India (QCI), issued by a certification body duly accredited by the NABCB as per the guidelines issued or amended from time to time.”

This notification pertains to products such as bovine meat, fish, chilled meat, sheep and goat meat, sausages, and related items. The ‘India Conformity Assessment Scheme (i-CAS)’ was created with the goal of streamlining the halal certification process for meat and meat products within India.

Until recently, the Indian government did not have a mandatory halal certification system in place, as there was no national regulation governing certification procedures.

As of 2021, the worldwide halal food market was valued at USD 1,978 billion and is expected to grow to USD 3,907.7 billion by 2027. With a substantial Muslim population, India presents significant opportunities for entrepreneurs interested in halal-based ventures.

India’s halal industry is still in its early stages, with no particular labeling mandates for halal food imports. Halal certification is granted by various private companies in India, signifying that the food or products are permissible. Halal India Pvt. Ltd. and Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind Halal Trust are the most prominent halal-certifying organizations in India.

The International Halal Accreditation Forum (IHAF) is a global network of accreditation bodies responsible for implementing halal standards within their respective economies. While countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, the UAE, Pakistan, and others have their own halal standards, there are currently no universal halal standards in place.

The report noted that the swift expansion of the halal industry has resulted not only in halal technologies and advancements but also in halal-related legislation and regulations that are yet to be globally standardized. The halal market now appeals to not only the Muslim population but also non-Muslim consumers due to shifting consumer perceptions.

Nightclubs in Delhi seek clarity on operating beyond 1AM amidst lack of permits

0
Night clubs

Despite the measures announced by Lieutenant Governor LG Saxena to improve ease of doing business and boost nightlife in the city, nightclubs in five- and four-star hotels located in Delhi are reportedly still facing hurdles, according to recent reports.

Despite the introduction of a unified portal intended to serve as a single platform for all permits, nightclub owners claim that the option for a 24-hour license is still unavailable. Operators are dissatisfied with the old timings, which mandate that they close their establishments by 1am and stop taking orders beyond 12:30am. As the business typically experiences a surge in activity around 11pm, the early closing is causing a loss of revenue, according to the operators.

Sidhant Sharma, CEO of White Club at Hotel Samrat, recently shared that despite collaborating with an international brand and incurring substantial expenses on rentals and salaries, the club has been experiencing significant losses due to early closures. Although the establishment possesses an excise license to serve alcohol around the clock, a lack of an eating house license from Delhi Police is compelling them to shut down early, as per Sharma.

According to Sharma, the police have not received any notification or order authorizing clubs to remain open late into the night.

Ankit Khilwani of Soho at Hotel Ashok concurred, adding that they were keeping their clubs shut as there was no point in incurring daily losses. “We don’t want to do anything illegal and, as a result, we are staying shut. We hope the website allows us to apply for a 24-hour police licence soon, or an order is passed urgently to every police station across the city that outlets in four- and five-star hotels are 24-hour eating houses. We urge officials to follow LG’s business-friendly policies for us to resume operations and benefit,” Khilwani said.

Delhi Police declined to provide any comments on the issue.

Speciality Restaurants

In a move to reinforce its position as a dominant player in the Asian food industry, Speciality Restaurants Ltd has announced plans to achieve a revenue of INR 1,000 crore by utilizing technology and revamping its brand, according to a company official’s statement on Monday.

Despite facing headwinds from the Covid pandemic, the multi-brand restaurant chain was able to recover and achieve a standalone net profit of INR 27.67 crore from a turnover of Rs 195 crore during the first half of FY’23, as per recent reports.

“We aim at reaching Rs 1,000 crore revenue in the next five years. Our stated goal is to double our current revenue in four years and triple it in six years, starting from the current level of Rs 400 crore,” Speciality Restaurants CMD Anjan Chatterjee told PTI.

The Kolkata-headquartered company’s key focus will be on “leveraging its key brands and upgrading technology, including the use of AI, to enhance customer experience and drive revenue growth by maintaining EBIDTA of over 25 percent”, he said.

According to Chatterjee, the company’s strategy to achieve its goal involves refreshing its flagship brand, Mainland China, with a new appearance and menu options as the initial step.

“The aim is to increase same-store sales growth (SSSG) and convert Mainland China Mall outlets into Asia Kitchen with the brand refresh,” he said.

The company also plans to ramp up delivery through cloud kitchens and ‘kitchen within kitchen’ set-up, as well as leverage its brand equity to migrate into FMCG ready-to-eat formats, he said.

In addition, Speciality Restaurants intends to introduce a Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) brand and establish two to three outlets in each metropolitan city and one to two in Tier II cities.

Speciality Restaurants has also announced plans to expand its wet-led venture, Episode One, which caters to both GenX and GenY demographics, by opening 2-3 outlets in each metropolitan city and 1-2 in Tier II cities.

The company’s international presence will also be expanded with the launch of Asia Kitchen by Mainland China in key cities globally, he said. The brand has already performed “very well” with two outlets in Dubai and one restaurant in London, Chatterjee said.

Speciality Restaurants was “working with technology partners to increase product shelf life, and expanding its airport and corporate gifting offerings”, he added.

How to create a good business deck in 5 minutes

0
business deck

A  good business deck is a must for any founder looking to make a good business case amid their stakeholders. It helps you streamline your thoughts by starting with a clear message, using visuals to tell your story, focusing on the problem you’re solving, keeping it short and sweet, and ending with a strong call to action, which helps in creating a compelling and engaging business case that captures investors’ attention and generates interest in your business. 

That said, creating a good business deck in just 5 minutes is a misnomer. It’s a marketing gimmick for social media campaigns, rather than actually possible. Creating a successful and engaging business deck requires a significant amount of time and effort, as it’s an essential tool for communicating your ideas and gaining investor interest. A good business deck is holistic, and provides a 360 degree view of all the aspects that a business requires and will possibly achieve during its operations. A good plan also captures the risks that a business runs and deviations from the key milestones as some of the important variables and their effect on the business.  

However, there are a few tips and tricks that can help you streamline the process of creating a business deck and make it more effective. 

In this article, we’ll explore some of these techniques to help you create a compelling and effective business deck in a relatively short amount of time.

  • Start with a clear and concise message:

The first step in creating an effective business deck is to determine your core message. What is the main idea that you want to communicate to your audience? This message should be clear, concise, and easy to understand.

To help clarify your message, consider creating a one-sentence summary of your business or idea. This summary should capture the essence of your idea in a single sentence, and it should be easy for anyone to understand.

For example, if you were pitching a new social media platform, your one-sentence summary might be: “We’re building a social media platform that connects people based on shared interests, rather than just social connections.”

By starting with a clear and concise message, you’ll be able to focus your business deck on the most important points and avoid getting bogged down in unnecessary details.

  • Use visuals to tell your story:

Visuals are an essential tool for creating an engaging and effective business deck. Rather than relying solely on text to convey your message, use images, graphs, and charts to help tell your story.

Visuals can help break up the text and make your deck more visually appealing. Additionally, they can help to illustrate complex ideas and data in a way that’s easy for your audience to understand.

When creating your visuals, be sure to keep them simple and easy to read. Avoid using too much text or cluttering your slides with too many images or graphics. Instead, focus on using visuals that support your core message and help to convey your key ideas.

  • Focus on the problem you’re solving:

Investors are always looking for businesses that solve real-world problems. When creating your business deck, be sure to focus on the problem you’re solving and how your solution is different from existing solutions in the market.

To effectively communicate the problem you’re solving, consider using customer quotes or testimonials to illustrate the pain points your customers are experiencing. Additionally, use data and statistics to support your claims and show that there is a real need for your solution.

By focusing on the problem you’re solving, you’ll be able to demonstrate the value of your solution and show investors why your business is a worthwhile investment.

  • Keep it short and sweet:

When creating your business deck, it’s important to keep it short and to the point. While you may be tempted to include every detail and piece of information about your business, it’s important to remember that investors have limited attention spans.

To keep your deck short and sweet, consider using a template or pre-made design to help you organize your content. Additionally, try to limit the number of slides in your deck to 10-12, and aim to keep each slide simple and easy to understand.

When presenting your deck, be sure to practice your pitch so that you can deliver your message clearly and concisely. By keeping your deck short and to the point, you’ll be able to capture investors’ attention and keep them engaged throughout your presentation.

  • End with a strong call to action:

Finally, it’s important to end your business deck with a strong call to action. This call to action should clearly communicate what you want investors to do next, whether that’s scheduling a follow-up meeting or investing in your business.

To create a strong call to action, consider using a slide at the end of your deck that summarizes your key points and invites investors to take action. This slide should include your contact information and any relevant next steps, such as scheduling a meeting or providing more information.

Additionally, be sure to follow up with investors after your presentation to keep the conversation going. Send a thank you email and provide any additional information or data that investors may have requested. By staying in touch with investors, you’ll be able to build relationships and keep them engaged in your business.

Remember to practice your pitch and follow up with investors after your presentation to keep the conversation going and build relationships that can help your business succeed
