In this episode, Sam Neil explores the fascinating tension between cultural taboos and modern branding in South Asia. We look at the rise of "Halal-Premium" luxury—where religious certification becomes a badge of high-end ethics—and the surprising emergence of "Taboo Artisanship," such as pork-fat soaps marketed as nostalgic, counter-cultural luxuries. Join us as we break down how identity, purity, and the "forbidden" are being packaged into the next generation of trendy businesses.
