Best overlap: 11:30 AM to 6:30 PM in Chennai is 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM in Amsterdam.
Both teams are at their desks between 11:30 AM to 6:30 PM in Chennai and 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM in Amsterdam. Amsterdam is 3.5 hours behind Chennai, yet you get a full 7 hours of shared hours — enough to schedule around lunches, focus time, and preferences with ease. One seasonal catch: Amsterdam springs forward and falls back, but Chennai doesn't, so the gap changes by an hour for several months of the year.
