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.

Surat Business Pulse

Culture World capital of diamond polishing. Hardworking and trade-focused.
Lunch Break 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM.
Pro Tip The "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.
