Posted By Ian G Hutchings Hi Paul There are several cultural nuances that I probably couldn't cover in full, you'll need to refer to a local contact. Religious and other aspects can vary greatly depending on location. One thing I did find in India was that the system of management, hierarchy and respect in some ways is quite subservient. You may find that people will go along with what you say and be very positive, but not always understand what your expectations are. After any training there will need to be some follow up (as is the case for anywhere) and checking that people are happy to do what has been agreed. You will need to understand who the influencers are on site or at the business and respect their position. See if you can speak with local contacts first and use their local knowledge and advice. If traveling alone, please make sure you have local contacts to meet you. The driving is interesting at times! All the best Ian

Posted By Jay Joshi India is a vast country--its regional and cultural diversity can be compared with Europe--except there is a bridging language--English Similarly, it depends upon the culture, including safety culture of organisation you may be imparting training. Some with world class performance exist in India with some of the worst. In a nutshell, it is a country with extremes of almost everything imaginable! I doubt anyone inexperienced in driving on Indian roads will even attempt to drive. The heat coupled with humidity can be extremely uncomfortable,but it depends where you are. You could priovide me with more information by e-mail regarding the company/locations you will impart training --I am not a consultant etc, Ih ave a salaried job here therefore there is no conflict of interests.I have studied & worked in India from 1975 to 1990.
