The Hofstede dimensions for the culture are classified into five types Power Distance Indicator , Individualism, Long Term Orientation, Masculinity and Uncertainty Avoidance .India has Power Distance (PDI) as the highest Hofstede dimension with a rank 77 when compared to the worlds average PDI which is 56.5. This number indicates that the level of inequality with power and wealth within a society is high. India's Long Term Orientation (LTO) dimension rank is 61, having the world average at 48. A high LTO score can indicate that the culture is perseverant and parsimonious.
India's third highest ranking Hofstede dimension is Masculinity(MAS) which is at 56, with the world average just slightly lower at 51. The higher the country ranks in this dimension, the greater is the gap between values of men and women. Although there is high male competition, it may also generate a more competitive and assertive female population.

The lowest ranking Dimension is Uncertainty Avoidance (UAI) at 40, which is less than the world average of 65. Falling under the lower end of this ranking, the culture may be more open to unstructured ideas and situations. The population has not much restrictions which means having fewer rules and regulations to attempt control of every unknown and unexpected event or situation, which is not in the case of high Uncertainty Avoidance countries.
