What time-zone overlap can I expect from India?
Real, daily, 3-4 hours of working overlap:
- India Standard Time = UTC+5:30
- Greece = UTC+2 (EET, winter) or UTC+3 (EEST, summer)
- Overlap window: 12 PM, 4 PM IST = 9:30 AM, 1:30 PM EET (winter) or 10:30 AM, 2:30 PM EEST (summer).
That covers your morning standup, mid-morning review, and lunchtime hand-off. Daily 4 PM EET review on staging is the typical cadence. If you need late-day overlap (post-3 PM EET) we can flex 2-3 days/week. Slack / WhatsApp async covers the rest. We’ve worked this way with Athens, Thessaloniki, and Aegean-island clients for years.
Greek bank-holiday calendar (Καθαρά Δευτέρα, Δεκαπενταύγουστος, Άγιο Πνεύμα etc.) is honoured, no deploys, no escalations on Greek public holidays unless explicitly agreed.
