Kathmandu Business Pulse

  • Culture Traditional, relationship-oriented, and moves at a steady, hospitable pace.
  • Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip Best times for calls are 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM. Nepalese business culture values personal trust and social rapport. Take time for polite greetings before business. Be patient with potential connectivity issues and have a backup plan. A warm, respectful, and patient tone is most effective.

Tokyo Business Pulse

  • Culture Consensus-based and very formal. Respect for hierarchy and "Meishi Kōkan" (business card exchange) are central.
  • Lunch Break Strictly 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip The most effective window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Avoid the strictly observed 12-1 PM lunch hour at all costs. Late afternoon calls (4 PM - 5:30 PM) are also acceptable, but ensure you follow formal protocols and hierarchy if multiple stakeholders are on the line.
