US East + UK + India Meeting Time
Find the best meeting time for teams across New York, London, and Mumbai. See work hour overlap and ranked time slots.
The EST-GMT-IST triangle is the most common distributed team pattern, connecting offices and remote workers across the Americas, Europe, and Asia in a single corridor. This three-way combination covers roughly two-thirds of the global tech workforce. The main challenge is the 10.5-hour spread from EST to IST, which compresses the usable overlap window to roughly 1.5--2.5 hours during standard work schedules.

Scheduling Tips
- Schedule recurring meetings at 9:30 AM EST / 2:30 PM GMT / 8:00 PM IST — this is the sweet spot that keeps all three regions within reasonable hours.
- Record all meetings for the Mumbai team since they're joining in the evening — if they need to miss one, they can catch up asynchronously.
- Consider rotating meeting times monthly: one month favoring IST hours, the next favoring EST, to share the burden of off-hours calls.
