Istanbul Business Pulse
- Culture A bridge between East and West. Business is personal, and hospitality (tea/coffee) is a prerequisite.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Aim for calls between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM or 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Turkish business culture is highly relational; starting with "Nasılsınız?" (How are you?) and building rapport is essential. Avoid scheduling critical calls late on Friday afternoons.
Lahore Business Pulse
- Culture Cultural and traditional. Business is often built on family networks and trust.
- Lunch Break 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Avoid the Friday prayer window (1:00 PM - 3:00 PM). Business culture is deeply hospitable; if you are on a video call, expect personal inquiries and a warm tone. Trust and personal referrals are the most effective way to open doors here.
