BUSINESS CARD ETIQUETTES
From the standard format, Indian businesspeople expectthat the cards they are passed highlight the educationalbackground of the employee. In addition to the normalinformation, degree information from college experienceand vocational training should be listed on your business
card.
It is also inappropriate in India to pass a card with the lefthand. The left hand is considered the toilet hand and so,unclean. Unlike China or Japan though, most Hindi-
speaking people are formally educated in the Englishlanguage, so a double-sided translation is not asimportant.

BEHAVIOR DOS AND DONTS
Keep your hands out of your pockets while speaking to someone.
Being invited to someone's home is a great honour. If one of your hosts extends an invitation, acceptwholeheartedly.
Unlike in China where people openly clear their noses onto the street, blowing your nose in public isgenerally frowned upon in Japanese etiquette. Excuse yourself to the toilet or go outside to clear your nose.Sniffling to avoid blowing the nose actually is acceptable
Avoid pointing at people with a finger to make a point. Pointing, whether with fingers or chopsticks, isconsidered especially rude in Japan
The numbers "4" and "9" are considered unlucky in Japanese culture. The word for four (shi ) is the same asthe word for death, while the word for nine ( ku ) can mean suffering. Avoid giving gifts or anything else insets of four or nine
Many rules of Japanese business etiquette follow the rules of saving face. Avoid causing someone to "loseface" by pointing out their mistakes or shortcomings in front of others

BUSINESS CARD ETIQUETTES
Japan places an almost ceremonious level of prestige on thepassage of business cards. Foreigners conducting business inthe country must invest in the highest quality card stock. Aprominent title is also an important aspect of Japanese cultureand should be displayed distinctly on the card.
Passing cards in Japan is acceptable with either hand, but theymust always be received with both hands. Most commonly,Japanese businesspeople exchange cards at the beginning of ameeting. The card should never be filed away in the presence ofthe giver but instead placed at the desk in front of the recipientduring business meetings.
By following these general rules, people from countries with lessformal processes will succeed in foreign environments. You canmake a positive, lasting impression and ensure lasting companyrelations. Missing a cue, on the other hand, might result in theloss of a potential client.
