Is India a non time sensitive culture?

[Flatlander]

I've been dealing with this guy from India and everything is always, "By the end of business today," which I've learned means, "Maybe next week, maybe the week after that. Maybe."

Here in America when we say, "By the end of business today," that is taken to mean by 5 pm or so, not the next day and certainly not a week or two in the future.

So I'm wondering if I'm dealing with a lazy bastard OR is that just how things are done in India? I can deal with the latter but if he's just screwing off then I'll escalate the matter. So do people in India view time differently than most Americans?
