DOs & DON’Ts FOR BUSINESS TRAVEL IN INDIA

I’m not an expert on India travel, but hope my thoughts might help others, I’ll list my do's and don'ts. These are based on my own experiences, and should be read with that in mind. I traveled to India in February 2007 for 16 days. I am a middle-aged American female lawyer, reasonably well-traveled, and in good health. I speak English plus some French and Spanish (neither of which were used on this trip). My air travel (roundtrip Washington DC) was in coach class on British Airways, and my in-country air travel was on Jet Airways (coach class). I stayed in 5-star hotels in Bangalore, Mumbai, Jaipur and Delhi. All hotels provided airport pickup and drop-off, and had in-house car-hire services, which I used (supplemented by taxis in Mumbai). All my business contacts and clients sent chauffered cars to pick me up and return me to my hotel, and when dining out, the drivers parked and waited for me. With these caveats and my background, in mind, here are my observations (but if you’ve been in India before, or if you are Indian, or speak Hindi or if you’re in India for a tourist adventure, rather than business, this list might not be appropriate for you…).

My Top 10 “Do” list:

1. Do take taxis or private cars (either from the hotel or those booked with reputable taxi companies) rather than walk in the cities, unless you know the area. On foot, you will likely be followed by auto-rickshaws, taxis and other vehicles, whose drivers honk incessantly to persuade you to accept a ride.

2. Do drink only bottled water that is provided by hotels and restaurants, and make sure the cap is sealed when the bottle is presented to you. Use this water for everything, including tooth-brushing. If you get a Coke or a soda, make sure it is served in a closed can and don’t take ice in it (or in any drink).

3. Do accept the exceptional Indian hospitality you will find everywhere. Your Indian hosts want your visit to be pleasant and successful and go out of their way to make sure it is. Put your skepticism aside – Indian hospitality is the real thing (and it’s wonderful).

4. Do bring along heaps of business and professional cards – everyone will ask for one and will offer you one. Even when you are meeting 10 people from the same company in the same room, you’ll be expected to give each person a card.

5. Do try and remember the names of the people you meet and address them by name – most of the Indian businesspeople I met used my first name (and expected me to use theirs) right away.

6. Do study up the companies you visit before you get there – they’re likely to make a big effort to prepare for your visit and it’s only reasonable for you to learn about them in advance.

7. Do take a day or two out of your schedule to see tourist sites or simply enjoy the city or town you’re in. Simply looking out a car window in India is more interesting than any movie you’ve ever seen if you haven’t been here before. Hire a guide if you’re especially interested in art or history – they’re knowledgeable and inexpensive and love to demonstrate their knowledge.

8. Do talk to strangers. I met interesting and friendly people in airports, on trains, in hotels, and even on the street. I never felt threatened or intimidated and everyone I met with a smile and a hello seemed eager to engage in conversation.

9. Do dress modestly if you are female and professionally (not in shorts, even when it’s hot) if you’re male. Indian ladies have a wonderful and colorful look with their loose bright sarees, but these garments are designed to cover a lot of the body. Form-fitting clothes on women just aren’t seen (except perhaps in Western-style nightclubs). In the cities, men don’t wear shorts, t-shirts, baseball caps, or sandals. Although the dress code is casual, it’s also modest and businesslike.

10. Do keep an open mind – you may be frustrated by the apparent contradictions you face everyday, but this is an ancient country with a complex history and there’s simply no way to figure out “what’s what” on a short business trip. So et go of any preconceived ideas about what a business trip should be, and accept that India is very different from Indiana.

And my Top 10 “Don’ts” are:

1. Don’t neglect to prepare for your India trip with more attention that you might give if traveling elsewhere. For example, Americans need a visa (and a documented business purpose to obtain a business visa valid for 6 months), and you’ll probably also need shots for hepatitis, typhoid fever, and perhaps tetanus, and pills for malaria, diarrhea and other potential illnesses. Bring along special foods you can’t live without (none of my 5-star hotels had a convenience store) and special toiletry items, plus loads of hand sanitizer. Don’t forget your camera and computer and all the cords, cables, converters, chargers and adapters you’ll need for plugging it in. Figure out how to get all your hand-carried items into a single (1) carry-on.

2. Don’t be late for meetings – although I was told that Indians are routinely about 30 minutes late for everything, I found all my Indian hosts to be not only punctual but often quite early.

3. Don’t over-schedule yourself. It takes 30-90 minutes to reach some offices from downtown city hotels because traffic is heavy and unpredictable. I would aim for one meeting a day rather than two if it’s possible, unless the second meeting is a dinner meeting or something late in the evening. By US standards, Indians eat dinner on the late side (8-9pm or later).

4. Don’t engage in public displays of affection (PDA) with members of the opposite sex. You often see men and boys holding hands or with their arms draped around each others’ shoulders, and you sometimes see women walking arm-in-arm, but rarely do men and women touch in public and I never saw any overt displays of affection between men and women, which I assume means PDA isn’t appropriate.

5. Don’t give money to begging women and children – they will approach you on the street or knock on the windows of cars you’re riding in. Distributing even a coin or two makes many more children materialize instantly. On the other hand, I often carried apples or candy bars with me and passed them out when asked (but once or twice, this led to fights between the recipient and other kids).

6. Don’t assume everyone eats meat and drinks alcohol. Many Indians are “veg” (eat only vegetarian foods) and others don’t drink. I never saw a restaurant with beef on the menu as Hindus revere the cow. Be careful what you order when eating with Indian people and be prepared to give up beefsteak and the burgers. Follow your host’s lead in this department.

7. Don’t make flashy displays of wealth or property – this is a poor country and foreigners stand out enough without flaunting themselves and their property.

8. Don’t insist on “self-help.” We Americans carry our own bags, make our own beds, drive our own cars, and are generally quite self-sufficient, but in India, you’ll be waited on, so relax and enjoy it. In the high-end hotels, waiters, concierges, travel desk attendants, butlers, housekeepers, and other service-providers are eager to do things for you – and that’s how they make a living. With more than a billion people, India needs ways to keep its people working. Business travelers contribute to much-needed employment.

9. Don’t dive in to business conversation immediately upon meeting your contacts. They’ll want to know something about you first, and you should ask about them. Many conversations with Indian professionals began with two simple words – “tell me” – which was an invitation for me to tell them something about myself and my intentions. Eventually you’ll get to the business part of your conversation, but take a little time upfront to get acquainted. It will make for a smoother business relationship if you do.

10. Don’t go off on your own or wander into unknown parts of the city by yourself; let someone know where you are all the time, and always carry a photocopy of your passport (not the original) on your person. There is a high price paid in the black market for foreigners’ passports and it would be easy for a novice traveler in India to be taken advantage of or end up in a dangerous situation because he/she misreads what appears to be a friendly overture.

hi there,

we probably met at the ITechLaw venue in bangalore earlier this year, my name's krishnan and i was then part of stephen mathias' team which represented kochhar & co. at the conference.

i find one of your key areas of practice is mortgage lending. earlier this year, i had researched exhaustively for first indian (i see anoop's pic in your blog) on whether businesses of mortgage and title insurance were permitted insurance businesses in india. though not at that point, i'm informed the regulators would soon open up the domestic insurance market to widen its scope to include such new businesses. the concept of mortgage companies and guaranty companies still remain unknown here

Shauna A McCleary said...

Purchasing YouTube subscribers in India is a polarizing strategy where success is weighed against integrity. Creators chasing quick recognition pay services to inflate their subscriber count, hoping social proof draws genuine viewership. While this might briefly simulate an influential channel, it flirts with non-compliance to YouTube's strict policies, risking punishment. Such a shortcut undermines the platform's foundational value of organic audience growth, though the temptation of fast-tracked visibility in a saturated market endures. Ultimately, meaningful engagement and consistent content quality cannot be substituted, making the choice to buy subscribers a precarious gamble for lasting channel success.

anecdotes said...

When content creators buy YouTube views in India, they aim to quickly boost the visibility of their videos within a highly competitive digital marketplace. This strategy targets the Indian audience, which is one of the largest and most diverse viewer demographics on the platform. By mimicking early popularity, videos may gain favor with YouTube's algorithms, increasing the likelihood of being featured in search results and recommended feeds. Authentic views from the Indian market can lead to greater regional engagement and even business opportunities. While the practice can be effective, it is critical to source views from real users to comply with YouTube's strict guidelines and ensure the longevity and credibility of a channel.

Cheap website hosting is a cost-effective solution aimed at individuals and small businesses needing to establish an affordable online presence. These plans are built around shared server space, where resources are allocated among multiple users to keep costs low. Packages typically include essential tools like cPanel for easy management, free SSL certificates for security, and basic email features. While such services are economically attractive, the trade-off can often be decreased performance during times of high traffic. However, the support structure usually includes 24/7 customer service and compatibility with popular content management systems for ease of use. As demands grow, providers offer scalable upgrade options to expand resources and capabilities, ensuring that hosting can evolve alongside your business or personal needs.

Purchasing YouTube subscribers in India is a practice adopted by some creators to artificially inflate their channel's subscriber count. Various online services offer packages where, for a fee, a channel can gain a specified number of subscribers in a short time frame. These subscribers are typically inactive, offering no real engagement or boost in viewership statistics that contribute to a channel's organic growth. While this method may create an illusion of popularity, it risks breaching YouTube's policies and can lead to penalties including channel suspension. The practice skirts the essential elements of building a genuine community and can undermine the credibility and authenticity of a YouTube channel in the burgeoning Indian digital market.

In the competitive Indian marketplace, some businesses succumb to the perilous strategy of buying Google reviews to instantly enhance their online reputations. Such practices involve purchasing fabricated testimonials, aimed at elevating their apparent consumer satisfaction and service quality. This not only breaches Google's stringent anti-fake review policies but also poses significant risks to the company's long-term credibility. As Indian consumers become more digitally savvy, their ability to spot and disregard inauthentic reviews is on the rise, reinforcing that the investment in genuine customer feedback is pivotal. In a country where digital word-of-mouth is influential, the integrity of reviews is paramount, making the acquisition of authentic, positive customer experiences a keystone for enduring success and trust.

Available in both liquid and foam formats, these products are easy to incorporate into daily grooming routines. Users typically observe improvements in hair thickness and regrowth within three to six months of consistent use. It is crucial for users to maintain a regular application schedule, as discontinuing treatment may result in the loss of benefits.

Consulting with a healthcare professional before starting any treatment is recommended to ensure safety and suitability. Overall, these regrowth treatments aim to help men in Australia reclaim their confidence and improve their appearance.
