Regional context

Timezones across South Asia

South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan) runs on a small set of tightly-clustered timezones — most of the region is between UTC+5 and UTC+6, with India's IST (UTC+5:30) being the reference clock. None of the major economies observe DST, so offsets stay fixed year-round. The overlap window with both Europe and the US East Coast is compressed but usable — why so many global support / BPO operations base delivery here.

Scheduling tip: Always reference a city name in calendar invites rather than a fixed UTC offset. Calendar apps like Google Calendar and Outlook will automatically adjust for any clock changes on both ends, so your meeting stays at the intended local time for everyone involved.
