Synchronization Context

A 2 hours 30 minutes gap allows for a manageable shared window, typically in the morning or late afternoon. It requires some scheduling but supports daily synchronization.

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.

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.
