Best Meeting Times: PST and IST

Standard 09:00–17:00 business hours do not overlap between Pacific Time and India Standard Time.

With a 13.5-hour difference, real-time overlap during standard business hours is not possible. The most common approach is for one team to hold a standing early-morning call (07:00–09:00 local) while the other stays late (17:00–19:00 local). Rotate the sacrifice quarterly to distribute meeting burden fairly.

For zero-overlap corridors, we recommend the Meeting Planner's rotation-fairness feature to distribute meeting burden equitably.

Daylight Saving Time: PST and IST

PST — Pacific Time
Observes DST
Standard: UTC−08:00
DST (PDT): UTC−07:00
2026: clocks forward 2026-03-08 · back 2026-11-01

Pacific Time follows US DST rules, moving from PST (UTC−8) to PDT (UTC−7) in March and back in November.

IST — India Standard Time
No DST — fixed offset
Year-round: UTC+05:30

India does not observe Daylight Saving Time. IST (UTC+5:30) is fixed year-round. India's unusual 30-minute offset was standardized in 1906 and applies to the entire country despite spanning nearly 30 degrees of longitude.

DST effect on this pair: PST observes DST; IST does not. During PST's DST period (2026-03-08 – 2026-11-01), the gap between the two zones narrows by 1 hour.
