About
Working across 2h 30m of time difference
Hong Kong and Mumbai are close enough (2h 30m) that a normal workday call poses little challenge. Most slots between 10 AM and 4 PM in either city land cleanly in the other's business hours. Pick a time that suits the agenda; both teams can attend without disruption.
Daylight Saving Time can shift the gap by an hour twice a year. The North American DST window does not align with the European one, so the offset between Hong Kong and Mumbai can drift in late March and again in early November. Use this page to re-check your standing meeting on each transition.
FAQ
What's the best time for a meeting between Hong Kong and Mumbai?
Best overlap: 10:00 AM–1:00 PM Hong Kong time (2/2 zones in business hours). The strongest business-hour overlap is UTC 2:00–6:00, which is Hong Kong 10:00 AM–1:00 PM and Mumbai 7:30 AM–10:30 AM locally.
What is the time difference between Hong Kong and Mumbai?
Hong Kong is currently UTC+08:00 and Mumbai is UTC+05:30, a difference of 2h 30m. The exact gap can shift by one hour when one city switches to or from Daylight Saving Time.
Should we shift the meeting if one city changes Daylight Saving Time?
Yes — when only one of the two cities observes DST, the overlap window moves by an hour. Re-check this page in the weeks around March/April and October/November and adjust your standing meeting accordingly. The 24-hour grid below always reflects the current correct offset.
Can I schedule a daily standup that works for both Hong Kong and Mumbai?
Yes — the offset is only 2h 30m, so any mid-morning or mid-afternoon slot in either city will fall in working hours for both. A 10am or 3pm in Hong Kong usually works well.
