Enriched Operating Guide
Chengdu sits 2 hours ahead of Dhaka, centering the shared decision block at 11:00–17:00 Chengdu time. Your Dhaka team enters at 09:00 their time — a full two-hour early start that makes this one of the more demanding apac-sa pairs in the current batch. Chengdu is known for a better work-life balance than China's coastal cities, with a lively and relaxed energy, while Dhaka operates through a developing-economy lens where personal relationships drive business success. The lunch signals for both cities overlap inside this band, making the slot more fragile than the offset implies.
Overlap And Burden
The overlap runs 11:00 to 17:00 Chengdu / 09:00 to 15:00 Dhaka. The scheduling burden is shared relatively evenly — neither city bears a significantly heavier load.
Meeting Recommendation
> Best window: 11:00–16:00 Chengdu / 09:00–14:00 Dhaka on weekdays — keep live sessions decisive. > Do not schedule past 17:00 Chengdu — Dhaka exits at 15:00 and the window closes. > Use the Dhaka 09:00–09:30 ramp for async prep so the live session starts clean.
How This Pair Actually Operates
Chengdu and Dhaka still share most of the workday, so fast live alignment is practical without forcing one side into repeated after-hours calls.
Use a stable recurring slot and reserve async updates for prep and follow-up, not for the main decision itself.
This pair can usually decide live on the same day. Protect the strongest focus band instead of scattering short meetings across the calendar.
A fixed recurring slot is sustainable for this pair if it stays inside the shared focus block.
