Time difference and daylight saving

Finding a meeting time

For engineering teams working between the Bay Area and Bengaluru, try San Francisco early morning with Bengaluru evening, or San Francisco evening with Bengaluru morning the next day. At 8 AM in San Francisco it is 9:30 PM in Bengaluru during standard time, or 8:30 PM during daylight time. Standard 8 AM–5 PM schedules have no shared working hours; use custom working hours only when your team agrees to an earlier or later shift. Rotate inconvenient meeting times rather than always placing the burden on one office.

Use Working hours to set each city’s local schedule. Suggestions use 8 AM–5 PM by default, include weekends, and do not check holidays or calendars. Add to calendar exports your chosen moment; it does not send invitations.

What’s the best time for a call between San Francisco and Bengaluru?

Normal 8 AM–5 PM working days don’t overlap.
