ParagonCorp Brings Global Ramadan Movement “Better Together for Goodness Beyond Limits” to New York City

PT Paragon Technology and Innovation (ParagonCorp), a leading beauty, cosmetics and personal care innovator committed to creating products that resonate with evolving consumer needs, proudly announces its sponsorship of the New York Iftar, held on March 1st, 2026 as part of its celebratory global Ramadan movement, “Better Together for Goodness Beyond Limits.”

Rooted in Indonesia and Malaysia, the unified campaign continues to expand internationally — reaching communities across Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Europe, and now, North America.

“From Jakarta to Madinah, Makkah, Chiba, London, Kuala Lumpur, and this week, New York City, the movement reflects a shared belief: that goodness grows stronger when nurtured collectively,” stated Andrie Kurniarahman, Group Head of Brand Development Personal Care and Innovation at ParagonCorp. “While Paragon’s operational presence remains centered in Indonesia and Malaysia, the spirit of this initiative is intentionally extended beyond those borders — carrying our company’s commitment to collective impact across diverse communities worldwide”.

The New York Iftar marks a meaningful milestone in this global journey. Hosted in one of the world’s most dynamic and diverse cities, the gathering represents the continuation of an architecture designed to connect communities through faith, service, and shared purpose. By bringing together leaders, families, professionals, and community members, the event reinforces a simple yet powerful idea: shared faith and collective action can transcend geography.

In Indonesia and Malaysia, “Better Together for Goodness Beyond Limits” translates into tangible, large-scale community impact. Throughout Ramadan, Paragon and its brands collaborate closely with local partners, mosques, and grassroots organizations to ensure that the season becomes a catalyst for empowerment and solidarity.

Key initiatives include 42 mosque activations across Indonesia, fostering spaces for prayer, reflection, and community gathering, engagement in more than 90 communities nationwide, amplifying local-led efforts and strengthening social bonds, Quran initiatives engaging more than 3,000 women in Malaysia, supporting spiritual growth and literacy and indeed Ramadan support programs driven by Paragon and its employees, reinforcing a culture of service and shared responsibility.

These efforts are not isolated events but part of a broader, values-driven movement embedded in Paragon’s ethos. The company’s approach integrates faith-inspired service with structured community engagement — ensuring that Ramadan becomes not only a month of reflection, but also one of measurable, meaningful action.

The New York Iftar builds upon this foundation. While Paragon’s operational footprint remains centered in Southeast Asia, the extension of the movement into global cities reflects the universal resonance of its message. In New York — a city shaped by cultural plurality and interfaith dialogue — the event underscores how shared traditions can build bridges across backgrounds and experiences.

“Better Together for Goodness Beyond Limits” is designed to be both local and global: deeply rooted in the communities where Paragon operates, yet open and adaptive to new environments. The movement’s expansion illustrates the company’s commitment to fostering unity, service, and empowerment wherever communities gather in the spirit of Ramadan.

The global halal cosmetics market which ParagonCorp. proudly pioneers has been expanding rapidly, with valuations previously reported at about USD 42–53 billion in the mid-2020s and multiple forecasts today projecting it to more than double (to around USD 90–140+ billion) by the early 2030s, reflecting strong compound annual growth rates often in the ~11–13 % range across various studies.

Growth is being driven by the increasing adoption of halal beauty products among Muslim and non-Muslim consumers alike, together drawn to ethical, alcohol-free, cruelty-free and natural formulations.

But beyond the event itself, Paragon’s global brands continue to engage international audiences through ongoing initiatives and digital platforms. Members of the New York community — and global audiences alike — are invited to stay connected and follow the continued journey of this Ramadan movement.

“As the movement continues to grow across continents, we at Paragon reaffirm our core belief: that goodness, when nurtured collectively, has no limits — and that together, communities can create impact that reaches far beyond borders,” Kurniarahman concluded.
