Chennai Business Pulse
- Culture Hardworking, traditional, and values technical expertise and education.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- 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.
New York City Business Pulse
- Culture Fast-paced and direct. Punctuality is highly valued, and meetings often get straight to business.
- Lunch Break Often "on-the-go" between 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Mornings (9:30 AM - 11:30 AM) are best for high-energy discussions. After 4:00 PM EST, most professionals are wrapping up or in "commute mode," making it a poor time for complex topics. Keep your pitch concise—New Yorkers value their time and appreciate directness over lengthy pleasantries.
