Thank goodness for modern technology - it shrinks the world a whole lot so it does not really matter where your team is. You do your part like placing adverts, sending mails to your team when you are awake and they will react to your adverts or read your mails when they are awake - so the different time zones is not that important - although it would be nice if you catch them online despite the different time zones so you could have a one on one chat to them - but if it does not happen it is not a train smash.
As far as culture goes I feel the keyword is respect. Show your interest in them as human beings by finding out for instance about Hindi holidays and wish them well. So what I am saying is improve your own general knowledge by doing a little research about the culture of you affiliates and use it to show your good intentions towards them.
The only thing that I find the biggest obstacle is language - even with Google Translate the message does not always gets translated to its full effect. My solution for this with inactive affiliates that might be inactive because of a language barrier?
If I have a worker that speaks the same language as some of the inactive affiliates I explain my thinking to them and ask if they would be willing to take over the affiliate in their team and try to get them to work - I then transfer if possible to that PSA - if they have success we all win.
Hope this will give you a few ideas. Good luck.
