New Delhi Business Tips
New Delhi Dress Code
On the social front Indians on the whole are not formal people, so
don't be too concerned about appearance. Business dress is the
same as most other places in the world consisting of suits and
ties. Indian custom encourages modesty in clothing especially for
women, cover legs and arms where ever possible. Both men and women
should always remember to remove shoes when entering temples or
mosques.
Greeting Someone in New Delhi
The Indian Hindu greeting is to put your hands together as if in
prayer and tilt the head forward. Indian women will generally
prefer not to shake hands, for men this practice tends to be more
acceptable although on the whole handshaking is not as common as
in the west. It is common within business circles for business
cards to be exchanged. It is important not to use the left hand
for eating as it is considered unclean. Public displays of
affection e.g. kissing, hugging, and holding hands are most
frowned upon. If you are invited to a Hindu house, do not enter
the kitchen, as it may cause offence.
New Delhi Business Hours and Banking
Office hours in India are Monday to Friday, 09:30 to 17:00, with
an hour break for lunch. Most New Delhi businesses will also be
open on Saturday mornings 09:30 to 13:00. Banks are unlikely to
open Saturdays but will be open during the weekly business hours.
New Delhi Smoking
Visitors to India should remember that Sikhs and Parsees do not
smoke and so, smoking should be restricted to non-public areas.
