Could UTC Replace Time Zones?
Swatch once tried to kill time zones with .beats. But could UTC be the serious replacement the world actually needs? -
Best overlap: 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM in Copenhagen is 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Mumbai.
For the smoothest call, aim inside 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM in Copenhagen, i.e. 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Mumbai. Mumbai is 4.5 hours ahead of Copenhagen, so you've got a workable 5-hour overlap — ideal for a standing meeting around 8:30 AM in Copenhagen (1:00 PM in Mumbai). Don't be caught out by clock changes — Copenhagen observes daylight saving and Mumbai doesn't, so the offset varies by an hour through the year.
