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.
Melbourne Business Pulse
- Culture Professional but relaxed. Known for a strong coffee culture and sports-related networking.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip The best time for calls is 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Australians are generally informal but professional; starting with "How's it going?" is standard. Melbourne is the coffee capital; if you're on a video call, don't be surprised if your contact is in a café.
