Bangalore to Warsaw Meeting Time & Timezone Overlap
Anyone running a project across Bangalore and Warsaw eventually arrives at the same constraint: the 4.5-hour offset between Asia/Kolkata and Europe/Warsaw. The two cities share 4.5 hours of business time, which is enough for one daily check-in but not enough to run two synchronous meetings back-to-back. Scroll for the per-hour comparison, the strongest meeting windows for both teams, and the daylight-saving advisories that apply to this city pair.
Bangalore–Warsaw working-hour overlap window
The shared working window is 1.5:00 PM – 6:00 PM in Bangalore (Asia/Kolkata), which lines up with 9:00 AM – 1.5:00 PM in Warsaw (Europe/Warsaw).
For recurring meetings the most attendance-friendly start time is 1.5:00 PM Bangalore time. Booking inside the shared window means neither side has to take the call before breakfast or after dinner.

Daylight saving advisory
Warsaw 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 Warsaw — last Sunday of March (Europe) or second Sunday of March (North America)
- Autumn shift in Warsaw — 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.
