Working Culture and Holidays in India
India's business week is generally Monday to Friday or Monday to Saturday depending on the sector, with banks and government offices typically closed on the second and fourth Saturday of each month. India has one of the highest public holiday counts globally due to its religious diversity, observing major Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, and Christian holidays such as Diwali, Eid, Guru Nanak Jayanti, and Christmas. States also set their own regional holidays, so the exact holiday count can vary depending on which state a business operates in.
