Indian Culture Training Material

Many an expat has been mystified by the way Indian business works. Dealing with stakeholders from the Indian culture requires a good understanding of the cultural ethos based on which Indians operate. This would require an understanding of various aspects of Indian society such as:

• The importance of religions
• The perspective of time
• Indian festivals
• The significance of relationships and family
• The political system
• The way money is valued and viewed
• Factors that influence negotiations

Having a better understanding of the above mentioned factors enables one to be better prepared to deal with people from the Indian culture. If one observes the right protocols and blends in with the Indian culture (as opposed to being overwhelmed by it) there is a lot to be had in terms of creating successful business relationships and possibly friends for life.
