On the same grid, that corresponds to 3:30 AM to 5:30 AM in London during GMT, 4:30 AM to 6:30 AM during British Summer Time, 10:30 PM to 12:30 AM in New York during EST, and 11:30 PM to 1:30 AM during EDT, which quickly shows whether a live call is practical.

4. Export the selected time range for real scheduling: After selecting a time block, use the export options for ICS download, Google Calendar, Gmail, Copy to clipboard, or Share link. This is especially helpful when sending a confirmed meeting slot to a UK client, a US buyer, or a Dubai logistics contact so each person sees the event in their own local time automatically.

About Kāranja Time Zone

Kāranja uses the Asia/Kolkata IANA time zone, which is the standard time zone used across India. Its offset is UTC+5:30, commonly called India Standard Time (IST), and this offset remains constant throughout the year because India does not observe daylight saving time.

Kāranja is located in the state of Maharashtra, in western-central India, but like the rest of the country it follows a single national time standard rather than a regional time zone. This means Kāranja shares the same clock time as major Indian cities including Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Kolkata, which simplifies domestic travel, rail schedules, internal business operations, and nationwide broadcasting.

Compared with neighboring regions, Kāranja is 30 minutes behind Nepal Time (UTC+5:45), 30 minutes ahead of Pakistan Standard Time (UTC+5:00), 1 hour ahead of Gulf Standard Time in Dubai (UTC+4:00), and 2 hours 30 minutes behind Thailand (UTC+7:00). Because IST does not change seasonally, the time difference between Kāranja and countries that use daylight saving time—such as the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia—will shift during their DST transition periods.
