The 3h 30m offset between Bengaluru and Zürich is not just a number — it reshapes the entire rhythm of collaboration. Bengaluru clocks out while Zürich is still at lunch. Teams that don't plan this deliberately spend their overlap on firefighting instead of actual work.

The 4h 30m overlap window runs at the edge of both teams' days. For Zürich's side it's a late-morning meeting; for Bengaluru it's early afternoon. Neither is painful, which is exactly why it works. Anchor your recurring sync here and treat the rest of the day as async territory.

Recurring calendar invites for Bengaluru–Zürich meetings need a DST audit every year. If one city's clocks change before the other's, there's a window — sometimes three weeks, sometimes five — where the same calendar slot lands an hour earlier or later than intended. Always schedule with explicit timezone labels, not just clock times.

Add the rest of your team above and the planner scales to everyone at once. A three-city team spanning Bengaluru, Zürich, 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.

Daylight saving time: Zürich observes daylight saving time; Bengaluru does not. When Zürich's clocks change (next: March 29), the gap between the two cities shifts by 1 hour.
