Best time to call Chicago from Bengaluru
Waking hours, 8 am–10 pm on each clock, overlap 8–9:30 am in Bengaluru, which is 8:30–10 pm the day before in Chicago, and 7:30–10 pm in Bengaluru, which is 8–10:30 am in Chicago.
That’s for a call outside work: catching someone before or after their working day. For a work call, the meeting hours above ask the least of both.
The year ahead
One clock change moves the meeting this year. Each step is a week when one side has changed and the other hasn’t, or a season when the gap swaps.
