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.

  • Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip The "sweet spot" for calls is 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM. Be extremely patient with technical issues (power/internet) and have a backup plan like WhatsApp. Lagosians are very entrepreneurial; if you reach them, expect a fast-paced and pragmatic conversation.
