Best times to propose

1. 10am in Amsterdam · 2pm in Mumbai — Comfortable mid-day slot on both sides
2. 11am in Amsterdam · 3pm in Mumbai — Comfortable mid-day slot on both sides
3. 9am in Amsterdam · 1pm in Mumbai — Right at the edge of someone's day

Avoid 5am Amsterdam time and 6am Amsterdam time — only the other city is at work.

When the gap changes in the next twelve months

Sunday, March 28, 2027 — Mumbai goes from 4 hours 30 minutes ahead of to 3 hours 30 minutes ahead of Amsterdam.
Sunday, October 31, 2027 — Mumbai goes from 3 hours 30 minutes ahead of to 4 hours 30 minutes ahead of Amsterdam.

Recurring meetings set as a fixed clock time in one city will move by an hour for the other on these dates.

Public holidays to avoid

Dates where one side is off work while the other is not are the most common cause of no-shows on this route.

Friday, December 25, 2026 — Christmas Day — Amsterdam is off, Mumbai is working.
Saturday, December 26, 2026 — St. Stephen's Day — Amsterdam is off, Mumbai is working.

With 5 shared working hours, Amsterdam and Mumbai can run standing meetings without anyone giving up an evening — as long as the slot sits inside that window on both sides of the next clock change.

Sending a booking link avoids the arithmetic entirely: each side picks a time in their own zone and both calendars get the correct local time, including after a daylight-saving change. See how LemCall handles cross-timezone bookings.
