Chicago Business Pulse
- Culture Practical, hardworking, and friendly. A major hub for logistics, finance, and manufacturing.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best times for calls are 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Chicagoans are known for being practical and direct but also friendlier than their East Coast counterparts. The Central Time Zone is the "Goldilocks zone" for North American business, allowing for easy syncs with both NYC and LA.
Delhi Business Pulse
- Culture Professional and hierarchical with a strong emphasis on relationship-building and networking.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Plan calls for 11:00 AM or later, as many offices fully ramp up after the morning commute. Traffic frequently delays schedules, so expect a 5-15 minute "buffer" in meeting start times. Relationship building is crucial; spend a few minutes on personal rapport before starting the agenda.
