Synchronization Context

Syncing between Istanbul and Rio de Janeiro is challenging due to the 6 hours offset. Teams should prioritize asynchronous communication or specific 'handover' windows.

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.

Rio de Janeiro Business Pulse

Culture Relaxed but hardworking. Creative and media industries are prominent.
Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
Pro Tip Best call times are 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM. "Cariocas" (Rio locals) value an informal and friendly start to meetings. Always spend a few minutes on social pleasantries. Avoid scheduling anything for Friday afternoon as the city begins its weekend transition early.
