- Wednesday, November 18, 2026 — Repentance and Prayer Day — Berlin is off, Mumbai is working.
- Friday, December 25, 2026 — Christmas Day — Berlin is off, Mumbai is working.

With 5 shared working hours, Berlin 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.
