Cape Town Business Pulse

- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:30 AM and 12:00 PM. Capetonians value their quality of life, so business often has a slightly more relaxed pace than in Johannesburg. Relationship building is important. Be mindful of potential "Load Shedding" (power outages) affecting connectivity.
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.
