What time-zone overlap can I expect from India?

Real, daily, 4–6 hours of working overlap:

• India Standard Time = UTC+5:30
• France = UTC+1 (CET, winter) or UTC+2 (CEST, summer)
• Overlap window: 12 PM – 6 PM IST = 7:30 AM – 1:30 PM CET (winter) or 8:30 AM – 2:30 PM CEST (summer).

That covers your morning standup, mid-morning review, and lunchtime hand-off. Daily 4 PM CET review on staging is the typical cadence. If you need late-day overlap (post-3 PM CET) we can flex 2–3 days/week. Slack / WhatsApp async covers the rest. We’ve worked this way with Paris, Lyon, Marseille, and Bordeaux clients for years.
