At StarkSouk, we believe that the best meetings are often the ones that don’t happen. Before scheduling a meeting, we encourage you to ask, "Can this be communicated via email or message instead?"

However, when a meeting is necessary, we aim to keep it efficient and productive. Here’s how we handle meetings with Clients.:

Our Meeting Principles:

1. Keep it Short: We prefer meetings to be no longer than 30-45 minutes, but an hour is the absolute maximum.
2. Clear Purpose: Begin with a clear objective—what do you want to achieve during this time? This sets the tone and helps keep the meeting focused.
3. Defined Meeting Type: Everyone attending should know whether the meeting is for updates or collaboration.
4. Time Management: The meeting leader is responsible for managing time and ensuring the discussion stays on track.
5. Right People in the meet: Only include individuals who are directly involved and can contribute to the project—no more, no less.
6. Active Participation: Everyone present should be engaged, focused, and ready to contribute.
7. Respectful Communication: Minimize interruptions and ensure all voices are heard. Acknowledging diverse perspectives strengthens collaboration.
8. Clear Action Items: End the meeting with specific next steps and agreed-upon deadlines.

Meeting Types and Schedules:

We hold recurring meetings to keep everyone aligned. All times are in IST (Indian Standard Time) unless otherwise specified.

• Weekly Goals Meeting (Monday, between 9:30 and 11:00 a.m.): A brief meeting where we discuss the high-level project goals for the week.
• Weekly Goals Summaries ( Friday, between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m. ): We do weekly review meetings and do an overview of what we can continue, improve, and remove in the next week.
• Project Completion Overview: After the completion of every project, we sit with our Clients reflect on the entire project write down the things that we can implement on the next project for better efficiency, performance, and work-life balance.
