What’s the timezone overlap for a Mumbai team working with US clients?

Mumbai is IST (UTC+5:30). Overlap with US time zones:

  • US East Coast (EST, UTC-5): 2-4 hours of real-time overlap daily, roughly 6:30 PM, 9:30 PM IST = 8:00 AM, 11:00 AM EST. Good for daily standups.
  • US West Coast (PST, UTC-8): this is the interesting one. A Mumbai-based dev can do a night-shift (6 PM, 2 AM IST = 5:30 AM, 1:30 PM PST), giving you 8 hours of real-time overlap. Many Mumbai Magento devs already run West-Coast-aligned shifts for SF/LA/Seattle clients on Slack/Loom.
  • Async fallback: daily Loom recap (3-5 mins), end-of-day written status, Slack-first comms.

For me specifically: we’re Ahmedabad-based with the same IST timezone, so overlap math is identical to Mumbai. We have West-Coast clients on 8 PM, 4 AM IST shifts. If you need full US business hours, we’ll arrange it, just flag it in the booking form.
