Bangalore to Dublin Meeting Time & Timezone Overlap

Bangalore and Dublin are separated by 5.5 hours of clock time, which is what determines whether a synchronous meeting is realistic on any given day. With only 3.5 hours of overlap during business time, recurring meetings need to be precise — there's no slack for spillover. Use the table below to see exactly which hours line up, which ones are partial-overlap, and when daylight-saving transitions move the window in 2026.

Bangalore–Dublin working-hour overlap window

The shared working window is 2.5:00 PM – 6:00 PM in Bangalore (Asia/Kolkata), which lines up with 9:00 AM – 0.5:00 PM in Dublin (Europe/Dublin).

For recurring meetings the most attendance-friendly start time is 2.5:00 PM Bangalore time. Booking inside the shared window means neither side has to take the call before breakfast or after dinner.

Daylight saving advisory

Dublin observes daylight saving time; Bangalore does not. The effective time difference between the two cities therefore shifts by one hour twice a year. In 2026, the change dates that matter for this pair are:

  • Spring shift in Dublin — last Sunday of March (Europe) or second Sunday of March (North America)
  • Autumn shift in Dublin — last Sunday of October (Europe) or first Sunday of November (North America)

If you book a recurring meeting that already sits at the edge of the overlap window, expect it to drop out for roughly four weeks each spring and autumn when the windows realign.

Business-hours context for Bangalore and Dublin

Standard business hours in Bangalore run 10:00–19:00 local time, with the weekend on Saturday and Sunday. In Dublin, standard hours are 9:00–17:30 with the weekend on Saturday and Sunday.

Both cities share Saturday–Sunday as the weekend, so the only constraint is the time-of-day overlap.
