Scheduling Meetings Across US and India
Remote teams spanning the US East or West Coast and India face an 8.5โ13.5 hour gap. This guide shows the narrow overlap window and how to make it work.
Scheduling Tips
The best overlap for ESTโIST is 8:30โ10:00 am EST (6:30โ8:00 pm Mumbai).
For PSTโIST, the only working-hours overlap is 7:30โ9:30 am PST (9โ11 pm Mumbai) โ very early for the US or very late for India.
Consider rotating the "painful" slot so no team always takes the late call.
Use the Async-first approach: record meetings and use Loom or Slack video for non-urgent updates.
