World Time Converter
Compare times across cities so meetings actually work for everyone.
3 PM in Mumbai is 5:30 AM in New York (IST is UTC+5:30; EDT is UTC−4) — which is why your US client keeps missing standup. India has no daylight saving, but the US and Europe shift twice a year, so always re-check around March and October.

World Time Converter — FAQs
What is IST in UTC?
UTC+5:30, year-round — India doesn’t observe daylight saving, which simplifies things on our side.
Why did my meeting time shift?
The other country entered or left daylight saving (US: March/November; Europe: March/October). Recheck conversions after those dates.
What’s a good overlap for India–US meetings?
India evenings (7–9 PM IST) catch US East Coast mornings (9:30–11:30 AM EDT). India–US West Coast barely overlaps — someone compromises.
Does it handle daylight saving automatically?
Yes — conversions use the actual offset in force on the selected date, not a fixed one.
