- Pro Tip Best times for calls are 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM and 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM. Chennai values technical depth and intellectual rigor. Dress and tone should be conservative and professional. Hierarchy is respected, and punctuality (allowing for traffic) is appreciated.
Istanbul Business Pulse
- Culture A bridge between East and West. Business is personal, and hospitality (tea/coffee) is a prerequisite.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Aim for calls between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM or 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Turkish business culture is highly relational; starting with "Nasılsınız?" (How are you?) and building rapport is essential. Avoid scheduling critical calls late on Friday afternoons.
