Synchronization Context

Syncing between Nairobi and Seoul is challenging due to the 6 hours offset. Teams should prioritize asynchronous communication or specific 'handover' windows.

Nairobi Business Pulse

  • Culture Energetic and entrepreneurial. Tech hub of East Africa ("Silicon Savannah").
  • Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip Call between 10:00 AM and 12:30 PM. The tech scene is very vibrant and mobile-first. Personal relationships are vital; take a few minutes for "Small Talk" before jumping into business. Be patient with potential internet stability and have a backup messaging option ready.

Seoul Business Pulse

  • Culture Extremely hardworking and hierarchical. "Pali-pali" (hurry-hurry) culture drives rapid growth.
  • Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip The ideal window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. South Koreans value speed ("Pali-pali") and expect rapid responses. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour strictly. Ensure you follow hierarchical protocols if senior leaders are present, and never arrive (digitally or in-person) late for a call.
