Indian Business Etiquette

• Greet with a smile, handshake and small talk.
• Saying ‘namaste’ with slight bow and palms together, will be appreciated.
• With women, only shake hands if they offer it. Do not kiss them in greeting or goodbye.
• Dress conservatively and formally.
• Always address colleagues with title followed by Surname. Using a first name is seen as being disrespectful.
• Don’t open gifts until the giver has left the room. Don’t be too eager to open gifts.
• Indians are not always punctual. So be patient and flexible.
