- Pro Tip Best times for calls are 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Business here is often international; ensure you know which linguistic community (French/Dutch) your contact belongs to, or use English as the professional bridge. Expect a focus on protocol and consensus.
Kolkata Business Pulse
