The two zones in context

IST vs PDT — cities and working rhythm

IST — India Standard Time
Primary cities: Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata

Indian business hours run 10 AM – 7 PM IST typically; IT / BPO shifts commonly extend to cover US and UK working hours, so 3:30 PM – 12:30 AM IST (US overlap) and 12:30 PM – 9 PM IST (UK overlap) are the two second shifts you see most often. Weekend is Saturday-Sunday for most private-sector employers.

PDT — Pacific Daylight Time
Primary cities: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver (summer)

US West Coast summer offset (mid-March to early November), UTC-7. During PDT, the 7-h gap with UTC / London simplifies daylight-hour overlap — 9 AM PT = 5 PM London (BST).

Time gap: PDT is 12.5 hours behind IST (standard-time offsets — daylight-saving flips shift this by an hour twice a year in most northern-hemisphere zones).
