A 3h 30m time gap separates Berlin (UTC+2) and New Delhi (UTC+5:30). When you pick up your morning coffee in Berlin, your counterpart in New Delhi is already a few hours into their day. Getting a meeting right means understanding exactly where those working days intersect.

With 4h 30m of shared business hours, there's enough room for one focused daily meeting. The discipline is keeping it exactly that: focused. 3h 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.

Recurring calendar invites for Berlin–New Delhi 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 Berlin, New Delhi, 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: Berlin observes daylight saving time; New Delhi does not. When Berlin's clocks change (next: March 29), the gap between the two cities shifts by 1 hour.
