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.
Mumbai Business Pulse
- Culture The financial heart of India; energetic, resilient, and highly networking-focused.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Due to the intense commute, most professionals are best reached between 11:00 AM and 6:00 PM. Avoid the 1 PM - 2 PM lunch slot. Be prepared for a high-energy, fast-paced discussion. During monsoon season (June-August), be patient with potential delays in scheduled virtual meetings.
