What time-zone overlap can I expect from India for a Warsaw / Kraków team?
Real, daily, 4-5 hours of working overlap:
- India Standard Time = UTC+5:30
- Poland = UTC+1 (CET, winter) or UTC+2 (CEST, summer)
- Overlap window: 12 PM, 5 PM IST = 8:30 AM, 1:30 PM CET (winter) or 9:30 AM, 2:30 PM CEST (summer).
That covers your morning standup, mid-morning review, and pre-lunch hand-off. Daily 4 PM CET review on staging is the typical cadence. If you need late-day overlap (post-3 PM CET) we can flex 2-3 days/week. Slack / WhatsApp async covers the rest. We’ve worked this way with Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław, and Poznań clients for years.
