Jakarta Business Pulse
- Culture Collectivist and polite. Respect for elders and social harmony (Gotong Royong) is important.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (11:30 AM - 1:30 PM on Fridays).
- Pro Tip Best call window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. On Fridays, avoid calling between 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM due to congregational prayers. Indonesians value "face" and social harmony; avoid being overly blunt or confrontational. Relationship building is a critical first step for any business deal.
Kolkata Business Pulse
- Culture Intellectual and heritage-focused. Business often involves longer discussions and consensus.
- Lunch Break 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Best reached between 11:30 AM and 4:00 PM. Avoid the 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM lunch window. Business culture is intellectual and values detailed discussion; avoid overly aggressive "hard-sell" tactics. Note that the city slows down significantly during major festivals like Durga Puja.
