Delhi to San Francisco: Time Difference & Best Time to Meet

The 12.5-hour offset between Delhi and San Francisco means there's no point hunting for a 9-to-5 overlap — there isn't one. Expect compromise: someone in Delhi or San Francisco will need to take the call outside the usual 9-to-5, so share that load. Finally, San Francisco observes daylight saving and Delhi doesn't, so this window shifts by an hour for part of the year — recheck it each spring and autumn.
