Bangalore to Los Angeles: time difference and meeting times
Everything you need to schedule between Bangalore and Los Angeles — the current offset, both cities' daylight saving dates, and the hour-by-hour overlap of their working days.
Partial overlap only. There is no hour when both cities are inside core working hours. Both sides are awake and available at 01:00–04:00 UTC, 13:00–16:00 UTC, but at least one of them is in the early morning or the evening. That is the realistic window for this pair.

Daylight saving
Bangalore does not observe daylight saving — this offset is fixed all year. Los Angeles next moves its clocks back on 1 November 2026, to UTC−8.
This pair is not a whole number of hours apart
The offset between these two cities includes a half-hour component, so a meeting scheduled on the hour in one city always falls on the half hour in the other. Calendar software handles this correctly, but people converting in their heads routinely get it wrong by thirty minutes.
Only one side changes its clocks
Los Angeles observes daylight saving and Bangalore does not. The difference between these two cities is therefore not constant — it changes twice a year, entirely because of the Los Angeles side. A recurring meeting fixed to local time in Bangalore will appear to move by an hour in Los Angeles, and vice versa.
These cities are usually on different calendar days
The gap here is large enough that for much of the day the two cities are not merely at different times but on different dates. When you agree a meeting, confirm the date in both cities explicitly — "Tuesday at 9" means two different moments depending on whose Tuesday you mean.
Scheduling across this corridor
This is the offshore-development corridor, and it has no comfortable answer. India is far enough ahead of North America that the Indian working day has ended before the American one begins. Teams that make it work do so by accepting a fixed compromise: a late-evening call in India against an early-morning one in the US, usually held once a day and treated as the single synchronisation point, with everything else handed off in writing. The good news is that India does not observe daylight saving, so once you find a slot it stays put — only the American side moves.
About Bangalore
Bangalore shares India Standard Time with the rest of the country, five and a half hours ahead of UTC with no daylight saving. As India's largest technology centre it is probably the single most scheduled-against city on the offshore corridors, and the local working day has adapted: late-evening calls with North America are an established norm rather than an imposition.
About Los Angeles
Los Angeles is three hours behind the US East Coast, which makes it the awkward end of any American company's internal scheduling: a 9am meeting in New York is 6am here. For anything involving Europe or Asia the West Coast is either very early or very late, with almost nothing in between. It follows the same daylight saving dates as the rest of the mainland United States.
