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