Berlin Business Pulse
- Culture Direct, efficient, and values privacy. Clear separation between work and personal life.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Germans value efficiency and direct communication; do not be offended by a lack of small talk. Respect the strict 9-5 (or 8-4) work day. Calling after 6:00 PM or on weekends is considered a major intrusion into private life.
Kolkata Business Pulse
- Culture Intellectual and heritage-focused. Business often involves longer discussions and consensus.
- Lunch Break 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Best reached between 11:30 AM and 4:00 PM. Avoid the 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM lunch window. Business culture is intellectual and values detailed discussion; avoid overly aggressive "hard-sell" tactics. Note that the city slows down significantly during major festivals like Durga Puja.
