Our first business visit in Bangalore was Target India.
Jayme is from Duluth and has been working for Target in Minneapolis for 10 years. He has been assigned to Target India for an 18 month assignment. I think he was excited to see Americans when we visited. The security at the large corporation is crazy.. nothing like the U.S. We had to go through multiple levels of security before our business meeting. Common work hours are 10:00am-6:00pm.. In the U.S. we are accustomed to benefits such as health insurance and retirement benefits.. In India, benefits include free transportation to work and free lunch daily.. their health care was a small room that staffs a doctor a few days a week if you are sick.. Community work during normal business hours is also encouraged by large organizations.. India is a much more collectivism society whereas the U.S. society is highly individualistic.
A last-minute business meeting was negotiated and very interesting.. Idiom is a design firm that has been in business for 6 years. The company does design and marketing for their clients. This was the first Indian business that was more modernized.. just like the creative companies we see in the U.S.
And lastly we visited the Vydehi Medical Institute. This medical institute is a large hospital and medical college in Bangalore. The Institute is very proud that they are the cleanest medical facility in Bangalore and deliver high quality medical care.. compared to U.S. standards it was shocking what they consider clean. I had to use the restroom and the restroom in this hospital had no toilet paper and no running water in the sink. For India, this is common.. The hospital is well equipped with state of the art technology.
This was interesting.. specimen and organs.. each jar was labeled by a patient number.
Also.. Patient privacy does not exist. We were brought into different wards and areas while patient were being treated and they allowed photo taking all over the hospital. Zero Privacy!
