Time difference & DST
India Standard Time runs 13 hours 30 minutes ahead of Pacific Standard Time, or 12 hours 30 minutes ahead during US daylight saving time. This is the classic Silicon Valley ↔ Bangalore pairing that underpins much of the global tech industry.
India does not observe daylight saving time. When California shifts to PDT in spring, the effective offset compresses by an hour, which can silently break recurring calendar invites unless timezone-aware scheduling is used.
Best time to schedule a call
The most productive window is a Pacific evening / India morning handoff. 7:00 PM–9:00 PM PST corresponds to 8:30 AM–10:30 AM IST the following day — perfect for a daily standup between engineering hubs.
