Does the gap change?

- From around March 15, 2027: New Delhi ahead by 12 hours 30 minutes
Best time to meet
Normal office hours in New Delhi and San Francisco don't overlap. The most workable window is 6:30 PM to 10 PM in San Francisco, which is 7 AM to 10:30 AM in New Delhi, with one side starting early or finishing late.
For a recurring meeting, it's fairest to rotate which city takes the inconvenient slot.
