*** 7/7/16  A few days ago we had to discontinue selling India local numbers due to unilateral decision Indian authorities took by interpreting an old law from 1990s banning call forwarding of India local numbers. We also had to cancel all our currently assigned India local/geographic numbers and notify our customers about this action last week. This problem is affecting all resellers of India local numbers, and our provider, being the largest provider of these numbers from India, is aggressively pursuing a solution. We do not know exactly when this problem will be resolved.

Language

Different states in India each have different official languages. Central government only recognizes Hindi as the official language of India. However, when doing business in India, English is the language of international commerce.

Hierarchy: Of all the cultural influences that most impact Indian business culture, hierarchy plays a key role. 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.

For example, within companies manual labor will only be carried out by the “peon” (roughly equivalent to a ‘runner’). It is not uncommon for the moving of a desk to take hours. This is because no-one in the office will carry out the task but the “peon”, who, if otherwise engaged can not do so.

Doing Business – Meeting and Greeting: When addressing an Indian whom you know personally, always use the appropriate formal title, whether Professor, Doctor, Mr, Mrs or if you do not know their names then Sir or Madam will suffice.

When doing business in India, business cards should be exchanged at the first meeting. It is a good idea to have it translated on one side into Hindi, more as a sign of respect as opposed to linguistic necessity. 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.
