    There are both similarities and differences between work culture perspectives in Europe and India. Some key similarities include a focus on quality, keeping promises, and adhering to specifications. However, Europeans tend to be more specific and black/white in communication, while Indians communicate more indirectly and flexibly. Additionally, Europeans value independence and privacy more, while Indians prioritize family bonds and inclusion of family in business.
