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.
Tokyo Business Pulse
- Culture Consensus-based and very formal. Respect for hierarchy and "Meishi KΕkan" (business card exchange) are central.
- Lunch Break Strictly 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The most effective window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Avoid the strictly observed 12-1 PM lunch hour at all costs. Late afternoon calls (4 PM - 5:30 PM) are also acceptable, but ensure you follow formal protocols and hierarchy if multiple stakeholders are on the line.
