Kinshasa Business Pulse

Culture Developing and informal but with a growing corporate sector. Relationships are key.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
Pro Tip Call between 9:30 AM and 12:00 PM for the best response. French is the primary business language; ensure you have a translator or are fluent for technical discussions. Personal relationships and face-to-face (or video) interactions are highly valued over cold emails.

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.
