Business Protocol, Customs, & Culture in India

Introduction . India is a rich blend of cultures, religions, races, and languages. The nation’s identity and social structure remain protected by a cultural heritage that dates back at least 5,000 years, making India one of the oldest civilizations in the world. . India is the largest country in South Asia and the seventh largest in the world. China, Nepal and Bhutan are the neighboring countries in the north, Bangladesh and Burma in the east and Pakistan and Afghanistan in the west. In the south the country tapers off into the Indian Ocean. . India is the second most populous country in the world, with over one billion people. . India is the largest democracy in the world. . India is committed to a free economy after having an economy controlled by licensing until 1991.

Indian Culture – Key concepts and values . Hinduism and the traditional caste system: In India, religion is a way of life and must be respected in order to maintain successful business relationships. Despite the elimination of the traditional caste system, attitudes still remain and both aspects of Indian culture still influence the hierarchical structure of business practices in India today. . Fatalism: The concept of fatalism stems from one of the most characteristic traits of Indian culture – spirituality. The notion of Karma and that everything happens for a reason is still significant in the decision making process of many Indians. . Collectivism: India’s strong sense of community and group defined orientation mean a greater acceptance of hierarchical settings. In India, there is a noticeable lack of privacy and a smaller concept of personal space, where several generations often live together under one roof.

Language . Different states in India each have different official languages. . The principal official language of India is Hindi, while English is the secondary official language.

. When doing business in India, English is the language of international commerce.

Working relationships in India . With its roots in Hinduism and the caste system, Indian society operates within a framework of strict hierarchy that defines people's roles, status and social order. . It is the responsibility of the senior management to monitor, check and look after their Indian subordinates. . Face and self-esteem is an essential part of Indian culture, therefore any individual criticism in business situations must be done carefully and with sensitivity. . Despite the distinguished hierarchical system, the relationship between an Indian boss and his employee can be similar to that of close relatives. This is a direct influence of the community life experienced for thousands of years in India.

Meeting and Greeting . When doing business in India, meeting etiquette requires a handshake. However, Indians themselves use the Namaste. This is where the palms are brought together at chest level with a slight bow of the head. . Always use titles and full names when addressing people. . Business cards should be exchanged at the first meeting. Be sure to receive and give with your right hand. Make sure the card is put away respectfully and not simply pushed into a trouser pocket.

Building Relationships . Indians only deal favorably with those they know and trust – even at the expense of lucrative deals. It is vital that a good working relationship is founded with any prospective partner. o This must take place on a business level, i.e. demonstrating strong business acumen, and at a personal level, i.e. relating to your partner and exhibiting the positive traits of trustworthiness and honor.

Meetings and Negotiations . Meetings should be arranged well in advance. This should be done in writing and confirmed by phone. . Punctuality is expected, although being 10 minutes late will not have disastrous consequences. . When entering a meeting room, approach and greet the most senior figure first. . Meetings commence with some conversation. This is part of the 'getting to know you' process. Favorable topics of conversation include the latest business news, the fortunes of the Bombay Stock Exchange or cricket. Avoid talking about personal matters and do not comment on matters such as the poverty or beggars. . Bear in mind that negotiations can be slow, especially while trust is still developing. . Decisions are always made at the highest level. If the owner or Director of the company is not present, the chances are these are early stage negotiations. . Indians do not base their business decisions solely on statistics, empirical data and exciting PowerPoint presentations. They use intuition, feeling and faith to guide them. Always exercise patience, show good character and never exhibit frustration or anger. . When negotiating, avoid high pressure tactics. Do not be confrontational or forceful. Criticisms and disagreements should be expressed only with the most diplomatic language. . Indian society has an aversion to saying "no" as it is considered rude due to the possibility of causing disappointment or offense. Listen carefully to Indians' responses to your questions. If terms such as "We'll see," "I will try" or "possibly" are employed then the chances are that they are saying 'no'.

. Once terms have been agreed you will be expected to honor them. . Important Information Regarding Travel to India
