Brasilia Business Pulse
- Culture Formal, political, and influenced by government and administrative cycles.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. As the capital, business is often formal and hierarchical. Political and professional titles are respected. Punctuality in corporate/government settings is expected. Avoid scheduling anything for Friday afternoon as many people travel then.
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.
