What do we do? Doctor verifications - we make sure doctors are who they

say they are.

make sure it is the truth Web sites Phone calls Certificates / Documents

Options Close the office Find a cheaper way to do business

Why India Largest growing “off-shore” country in the world

– LOTS of people – Well-educated - largest group of engineers in the world

– All business workers have a college degree; many with masters degree– Cheaper labor– English is the common business language

Indian Mannerisms / Do’s and Don’ts Modest

“We” instead of “I” Girls dress modestly Be content with what you have

“Keeping the peace” - avoids conflict Will say “Probably” or “Yes” even if they don’t agree

Respects hierarchy / authority – will not challenge or publicly embarrass a boss / teacher Enjoys communicating; friendly talk, questions and debates

Wants to know who you are as a person Interrupting is OK and not seen as rude

Body language Head bobble – I “hear” you Touchy about feet

– Pointing or showing the bottom of feet to someone is disrespectful– Foot touches someone, apologize– Do not give something to someone that touched your foot

Right hands are the RIGHT hands– Eat, give money, touch someone with your right hand

No pointing allowed– Do not point with a single finger; instead point with whole hand

Public display of affection is not common, especially between men and women– Hand holding– Hugs / Kisses
