Hi I appriciate your thinking and giving respect to any human, in India to give respect to any person regardless of age or region or religion you can simply add JI with his name like KumarJi, MohammedJi etc. It is pronounced as JEE I think that would be best and easy way for you.

If they are from Kerala, you can call them " X chetta".

If they r from Tamilnadu Karnataka call them " X anna"

If they are from Andra call them "X garu"

If they are from Orissa, call them "X babu"

Very good some one respecting for their age.Please let us know from which part of India they are so that accordingly u can call,b cos every language has its own way of calling their elders.

Ofcourse you can call Bhai,but if u tell in their state language they may feel proud and wl definitely respect every fellow workers.
