13 June Successful Collaboration with India – Intercultural Competence as a Business Booster

A project involving an Indian team is delayed – yet no one seems concerned. A meeting is friendly but ends without clear decisions. Sound familiar? Anyone working internationally will recognize such situations – especially in dynamic business settings involving India. That’s where our training with Dr. Thomas Pallien comes in. To truly understand India, you need more than frequent flyer miles and business plans – you need intercultural competence.

Doing Business with India – Fascinating, Demanding, Diverse

Dr. Thomas Pallien is not only an intercultural trainer with German-Indian roots, but also a bridge-builder between two fascinating cultures. His background is impressively broad: Business Administration, Asian Studies, Law – and a PhD in Indian Law. Professionally, Thomas Pallien works as a lawyer, university lecturer, and management trainer. Today, he supports professionals and executives from international companies in building successful collaboration with India – whether from Germany or on site in India.

What can participants expect from his training at C-TO-BE?

• Knowledge that makes an impact
  Facts about India that go far beyond clichés – from social structures and religious diversity to economic trends.
• Understanding cultural codes
  What does “yes” really mean in an Indian context? How are hierarchies expressed? And why is small talk not a waste of time, but a door opener?
• Practical strategies for everyday business
  Whether it's online meetings, contract negotiations, or team leadership – Dr. Pallien provides tools, tips, and tactics that work.
• Reflecting on your own culture
  To understand others, you must also critically examine your own culture. Only then can true intercultural competence emerge.
