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.
Tokyo Business Pulse
- Culture Consensus-based and very formal. Respect for hierarchy and "Meishi KΕkan" (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.
