Delhi Business Pulse
- CultureProfessional and hierarchical with a strong emphasis on relationship-building and networking.
- Lunch Break1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro TipPlan 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.
Melbourne Business Pulse
- CultureProfessional but relaxed. Known for a strong coffee culture and sports-related networking.
- Lunch Break12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro TipThe best time for calls is 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Australians are generally informal but professional; starting with "How's it going?" is standard. Melbourne is the coffee capital; if you're on a video call, don't be surprised if your contact is in a café.
