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.

New York City Business Pulse

  • Culture Fast-paced and direct. Punctuality is highly valued, and meetings often get straight to business.
  • Lunch Break Often "on-the-go" between 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip Mornings (9:30 AM - 11:30 AM) are best for high-energy discussions. After 4:00 PM EST, most professionals are wrapping up or in "commute mode," making it a poor time for complex topics. Keep your pitch concise—New Yorkers value their time and appreciate directness over lengthy pleasantries.
