Client Meeting in Marathi — भेटीसाठी धन्यवाद
Client meetings in Marathi are warm-formal: भेटीसाठी धन्यवाद ('thanks for meeting'), ऑर्डरबद्दल बोलूया ('let's discuss the order'), पुढची पायरी काय? ('what's the next step?').
Hands-free: the guide reads itself aloud.

Common Mistakes
- ❌ Casual तू with a client → ✅ तुम्ही + -ता/-ते endings throughout — business Marathi is तुम्ही-register
- ❌ डेडलाइन only → ✅ कधी पुरवू शकता? ('by when can you deliver?') says it natively
Tip: Close every meeting with पुढची पायरी काय? ('what's the next step?') — it shows professionalism and gives you a natural goodbye: पुढच्या भेटीपर्यंत (until the next meeting).
