Best times for calls between Pacific Time and India
Pacific Time and India are almost exactly opposite: noon in California is around midnight in India. Silicon Valley and Seattle teams working with Bengaluru and Hyderabad usually pick one of these:
- US evening, India morning. 7:00–9:00 PM Pacific is 7:30–9:30 AM IST the next day in summer (PDT) and 8:30–10:30 AM IST in winter (PST). This is the most common overlap.
- Early US morning, India evening. 7:00–8:00 AM Pacific is 7:30–8:30 PM IST in summer and 8:30–9:30 PM IST in winter.
Watch the date: most Pacific evening times fall on the next day in India. The table below marks these.
