Best time to call San Francisco from Bengaluru
Waking hours, 8 am–10 pm on each clock, overlap 8–11:30 am in Bengaluru, which is 6:30–10 pm the day before in San Francisco, and 9:30–10 pm in Bengaluru, which is 8–8:30 am in San Francisco.
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.
