Mumbai Business Pulse
- Culture The financial heart of India; energetic, resilient, and highly networking-focused.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Due to the intense commute, most professionals are best reached between 11:00 AM and 6:00 PM. Avoid the 1 PM - 2 PM lunch slot. Be prepared for a high-energy, fast-paced discussion. During monsoon season (June-August), be patient with potential delays in scheduled virtual meetings.
Shanghai Business Pulse
- Culture Highly competitive and fast-paced. Business is often conducted with a mix of modern efficiency and traditional "Guanxi" (relationships).
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (Nap time is common).
- Pro Tip Respect the 12-1 PM lunch and rest window; lights are often dimmed in offices for naps. The best time to call is between 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Avoid calling during major public holidays like Golden Week or Lunar New Year, as business comes to a complete halt.
