Mumbai and Dubai
Scheduling across Mumbai and Dubai means dealing with two IANA time zones that don’t always stay the same distance apart.
Mumbai runs on Asia/Kolkata and Dubai runs on Asia/Dubai. The gap between them can shift during DST transitions, sometimes by an hour, sometimes on different dates.
Tzoner computes offsets for the specific date you pick. What you see is accurate whether you’re scheduling for tomorrow or three months from now.

Planning meetings between Mumbai and Dubai
The offset between these two cities isn’t constant. It shifts when Daylight Saving Time kicks in, and not every country observes DST on the same dates. So a meeting time that works perfectly in January might land an hour off in March.
The gap between Mumbai and Dubai can shift by an hour during spring and autumn transitions. If you're booking recurring meetings, you need to check again after the clocks change.
Tzoner uses the IANA timezone database to work out offsets for the exact date you choose. Pick a date three months out and the times are still right, even if a DST transition falls in between.
Finding the best window
The timeline shows a full 24-hour cycle with each city’s local time. Green zones are standard business hours (roughly 9 to 5 local). Yellow is a stretch, early morning or after work. Red is sleep, and you should avoid it unless someone volunteers.
Tzoner starts the timeline at the hour with the best overlap so you see the good option first. From there you can nudge it earlier or later to see what the tradeoffs look like.
Once you find the right time, start a Jitsi video call, generate a Google Calendar invite, or copy a shareable link. Whoever opens the link sees the same cities and time slot without needing an account.
