US East + Europe + India Meeting Time
Find the best meeting time for teams across Berlin, New York, and Mumbai. See work hour overlap and ranked time slots.
The CET-EST-IST triangle connects continental Europe (Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris), the US East Coast, and India — the backbone of outsourced engineering and multinational product teams. The 10.5-hour spread from EST to IST compresses usable three-way overlap to roughly 1.5 hours. Unlike the similar EST-GMT-IST corridor, CET is one hour ahead of London, which shifts the sweet spot later for India.

Scheduling Tips
- Schedule recurring calls at 9:30 AM EST / 3:30 PM CET / 8:00 PM IST — this is the sweet spot that keeps Berlin in the work day and Mumbai before 9 PM.
- During the March DST gap (US changes, EU hasn't yet), the meeting shifts to 10:30 AM EDT for the Berlin team to stay at 3:30 PM CET. Update calendar invites for those 2–3 weeks.
- Record every meeting and post a written summary. The India team joins at the end of their day and may need to defer follow-ups to the next morning — async artifacts keep momentum.
