Doing business in or with India is one thing, establishing an intensive relationship with your Indian business counterparts is quite another.

As anyone who has even the slightest business experience in no matter which country abroad will testify, the chances of success of the establishment of your business relationship grow as you take the effort of acculturation seriously. In other words, the more you take a genuine interest in the culture of your country of destination, the easier it will be to relate to your business partners and the better will be the results of your business venture.

 

CULTURE PROGRAMS WITH IBS IN INDIA 

 

With this in mind, IBS continuously strives at providing its clients with the best possible cultural programs, both in India and in Belgium. In India, on behalf of our clients, we organize outings to cultural events at the best quality cultural institutions.

As an additional asset, since most of the art scene in India is privatley sponsored, concerts and performances in India are considered major business networking events, where the IBS consultants can introduce you to those key businesspeople and entrepreneurs who matter most to your business success.

The series concludes on Friday December 16 with an exploration of the life and work of Nandalal Bose (1882-1966) who was without any doubt India's major artist/painter of the mid 20th century.
