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.

Surat Business Pulse

  • CultureWorld capital of diamond polishing. Hardworking and trade-focused.
  • Lunch Break1:30 PM - 2:30 PM.
  • Pro TipThe "sweet spot" is late afternoon, between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM. Surat is a 24/7 trade hub; business often happens late into the evening. Discussions are pragmatic, fast-paced, and deeply rooted in global trade and manufacturing networks.
