Bangalore for Businesswomen

The American Businesswoman's Politically Incorrect Guide to Bangalore

150+ Multinational Corporations have Major Offices in Bangalore, India.

Is Yours One of Them?

Get ready to take your career to the next level with the international
experience you need to get the best projects and promotions.

Get the ultimate success guide with current, real world information -
The American Businesswoman's Politically Incorrect Guide to Bangalore.

If you work with business process outsourcing (BPO), information
technology, or IT outsourcing, a trip to Bangalore, India is a key item
to recession-proof your resume.

Learn from women who have been there.

button_2_medium-
* Women who have faced the bewildering traffic and winding streets.
* Women who have negotiated with men who are clearly uncomfortable
doing business with American women.
* Women who have been puzzled by the Indian numbering system that
uses lakhs and crores rather than thousands and millions.
* Women who have learned the hard way what not to wear to that
important presentation.

Everything that you've heard about travel in India - the noise, the
colors, the bewildering cultural differences and the sensory overload,
is absolutely true.

Even if you're a veteran road warrior, and even if you've been to
Bangalore a number of times, this guide will show you how to avoid
difficulties that other westerners and other women never see coming.

This one, slim book contains everything you need to make your trip a
life-changing success.

You'll Be Prepared, Polished and Confident.

* You'll take the steps you need to prepare for your trip well in
advance, thanks to our one-page checklist.
* You will be perfectly packed - you won't be dragging pounds of
luggage that you'll never use, but you'll have everything you need
in one rolling bag and one briefcase for the average business trip.
* You'll know how to defuse awkward situations with men who may not
be comfortable doing business with an American woman.
* You'll always know how to start a vibrant conversation - no awkward
silences or obvious stumbles into sensitive territory!
* You won't be surprised by customs and social norms that often leave
westerners baffled.
* You'll know what to wear to a meeting with a client, to give a
presentation, to collaborate with a workgroup, or to a social
gathering.
* You'll be comfortable making your presentation in lakhs and crores
rather than millions and billions (we even show you some tricks to
put the commas in the right places in Excel!)
* You'll manage meetings with confidence. (Meetings are different in
India than in the U.S.!)

Why Is This Guide for "American Businesswomen?"

Many of the American businesswomen I know are concerned about what this
economy is going to do to their careers.

Some companies are in trouble, there are rumours of layoffs, and these
smart businesswomen are making sure their skills make them
indispensible to their current company and gives them lots of options
at others.

Lots of American businesses are outsourcing work or working with
suppliers and customers who outsource work to Bangalore. In order to be
competitive, you have to have international and multicultural
experience on your resume.

So, how do you get international experience? Even if an opportunity
comes up, how do you find the information you need to prepare for a
successful?

I have found in my experience that most of the information out there is
either for tourists or for is written by and for businessmen. There are
things that women need to know that men woudn't necessarily care about.

A few examples: A man could easily wear the same business suit in New
York and Bangalore and look perfectly natural and appropriate. A
businesswoman could wear a skirted business suit that is very
conservative by New York's standards, but showing any leg at all,
stockinged or not, would raise eyebrows in Bangalore. Also, a man can
get up in the morning, put on running shorts and go jogging in the park
by himself in Bangalore, while a woman would get a lot of unwanted
attention if she did that. A woman would get more jogging and less
dodging done the hotel gym. Also, a businessman can accept an
invitation to go out for dinner or tea with his co-workers after work
without thinking twice about it. A businesswoman probably shouldn't,
unless there are other women in the party.

On the other hand, a woman has some advantages that men won't have.
Women are very powerful in Indian society, and women have opportunities
for informal networking that aren't open to men.

This book tells it as is without pulling punches or passing judgement.

Why Do I Want a Politically Incorrect Guide?

Of course you want to be polished and professional, and you don't want
to offend your hosts and co-workers. So why do you want to read a guide
that's "politically incorrect?"

One of the things that drove me crazy when doing the research for the
book is that most business etiquette books are too sanitized to be
helpful. American and UK authors and publishers seem to be squeamish
about talking about issues of gender, age, class, race, religion and
politics. It's impossible to write frankly about the issues you'll
encounter when doing business in India without addressing those topics.
When doing interviews for the book, I asked businesspeople from India
and the U.S. to be as forthright as possible and tell it like it is.
You'll find the candor refreshing and reassuring.

It's also important to suspend your assumptions if you're traveling to
India. Many of the issues that Americans and Brits are uncomfortable
discussing are freely and candidly talked about in Bangalore. I think
that's one of the reasons that people have lived so peacefully with
such great diversity for thousands of years in Bangalore.

Frank, Helpful, Specific Advice
For example:

* Feminism takes different forms in India. Women are very successful
and outspoken (they are CEOs of major corporations and Directors
of departments) but in different ways than feminist leaders in the
U.S.Women have to do some things differently than men in order to
be effective.
* Age discrimination is the reverse of what it is in the U.S. Older
people have the advantage! I'll tell you how and why, and what to
do about it (whichever end of the age spectrum you're on.)
* Religion creates interesting challenges for business. The people
you will be working with will likely take time off according to
several different holiday calendars, and will need time during the
day for various observances. Some will have daily observances
that require some flexibility. And how would you host a lunch or
provide refreshments at a meeting when you have people with various
dietary restrictions (vegetarian, kosher, halal) and social
restrictions! (Men of certain faiths are not permitted to shake
hands with women!) Indians have been managing these cultural
differences for thousands of years, relatively harmoniously. But
an American doing business or managing a team needs to know the
whole story, not just the sanitized etiquette-book version

Make the Best Use of Your Time and Money!

You can read all the books below, interview 12 friends who work in
different professions and live or have traveled to India, and still not
have all of the information in The American Businesswoman's Politically
Incorrect Guide to Bangalore.
Global Road Warrior - India $7
India Investment and Business Guide $70.50
Doing Business in 21st Century India - How to Profit Today in
Tomorrow's Most Exciting Market $16.49
Bangalore - An Expat's Survival Guide (Kindle version) $9.99
Hindi Dictionary and Phrasebook $10.36
India Culture Smart $9.95
Dos and Taboos Around the World for Women $13.57
Kiss, Bow or Shake Hands $16.47
The World is Flat $10.88
Culture Wise India $12.21
Bangalore Tiger $16.47
Frommers India $16.49
Total $190.07

These are all great books, and I recommend them depending on the
purpose and extent of your visit. But all together they won't include
the extensive real-life experiences of real people who have travelled
in Bangalore. They won't be entirely relevant and won't be worth your
time and money!

You save $145.38, 66 pounds in your luggage (if you get the printed
versions and take them with you) and over 25 hours of reading time!
