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: 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Mumbai is 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM in Copenhagen.
For a call that suits both sides, look at 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Mumbai / 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM in Copenhagen. Copenhagen is 4.5 hours behind Mumbai, leaving about 5 hours of daily overlap — enough for most meetings if you don't leave them too late in the day. Finally, Copenhagen observes daylight saving and Mumbai doesn't, so this window shifts by an hour for part of the year — recheck it each spring and autumn.
