How your working day lines up with ours
8 hours 30 minutes shared per working day
India is 1 hour 30 minutes ahead of Dubai. A 9 AM to 6 PM day in Dubai overlaps our 9 AM to 7 PM India hours by 8 hours 30 minutes.
Plenty of shared hours for stand-ups, reviews and questions on the day.
It is 9:48 AM in Dubai and 11:18 AM in India.
Based on a 9 AM to 6 PM day for you, and our office hours of 9 AM to 7 PM India time. Need different hours? Say so in your brief, and we confirm what is possible before you commit.
