Heard this from a Singaporean working in the financial sector in Jakarta.
A few Brahmin Indians who are senior manages convinced a Western style Deli for a fee to set aside a table during lunch and provide plates and cutlery while the Indian vegetarian meals were catered from one of their families. They would come down at the same time and over meals do have discussions. Over time the staff, locals and expats realised that these managers from various departments in their firm were discussing work and working out moves to fit their common agenda.
They also noticed that more Indian FTs were brought in there were known to members of this Club. The Lunch Club has become political and driving the firm's agenda.
I wonder if the same is taking place in Singapore with so many Brahmin Indians.
