A 6h 30m time gap separates Auckland (UTC+12) and Bengaluru (UTC+5:30). When you pick up your morning coffee in Bengaluru, your counterpart in Auckland is already deep into their afternoon. Getting a meeting right means understanding exactly where those working days intersect.
With 1h 30m of shared business hours, there's enough room for one focused daily meeting. The discipline is keeping it exactly that: focused. 6h 30m gaps don't forgive meeting sprawl — a 30-minute standup that runs to 45 minutes starts eating into someone's actual work time. Book it, timebox it, end it on schedule.
The less obvious scheduling risk is daylight saving time mismatch. Auckland and Bengaluru may not shift their clocks on the same date. A meeting booked as "10 AM AKL" in January might show up as "11 AM AKL" in a colleague's calendar in March if your calendar app doesn't handle DST transitions correctly. Check the DST note on this page before setting up recurring meetings.
Add the rest of your team above and the planner scales to everyone at once. A three-city team spanning Auckland, Bengaluru, and a third timezone often has less overlap than any two-city pair in isolation — surfacing that constraint early prevents scheduling that works on paper but burns people out in practice.
Auckland is UTC+12 and Bengaluru is UTC+5:30, a difference of 6h 30m. This gap may shift by 1 hour during DST transitions.
The best meeting time is during the 1h 30m of shared business hours — typically 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM GMT+12.
