Intercultural training India

India is known for its cultural diversity and numerous peculiarities, which often appear foreign to people from Germany or Central Europe. However, India offers great investment potential for German companies. But to do business successfully in India, you need to understand Indian patterns of behaviour and the cultural backgrounds. Intercultural training for India teaches you, for example, that communication in India is often informal in order to create a good atmosphere, even in business. However, Indians usually don’t find it easy to give a definitive "no", as they place great value on maintaining harmony. The training also teaches business partners from Germany to read between the lines.

With intercultural training tailored to your needs, KERN AG Training supports you in establishing, further developing and intensifying your business relationships with partners from the emerging economy of India. The training is individually geared towards the needs of the employees. You, too, can benefit from our trainers’ comprehensive knowledge. Through targeted training and intercultural coaching, you will exploit your potential for German-Indian collaboration to the fullest.
