Best times to propose
- 1. 2pm in Hong Kong · 11am in Mumbai — Comfortable mid-day slot on both sides
- 2. 1pm in Hong Kong · 10am in Mumbai — Comfortable mid-day slot on both sides
- 3. 4pm in Hong Kong · 1pm in Mumbai — Comfortable mid-day slot on both sides
Avoid 9am Hong Kong time and 10am Hong Kong time — inside working hours locally but outside them for the other city.
Daylight saving
The difference between Hong Kong and Mumbai stays at 2 hours 30 minutes behind for the whole of the next twelve months — neither side's clock change affects this pair.
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.
- Saturday, September 26, 2026 — Day following the Mid-Autumn Festival — Hong Kong is off, Mumbai is working.
- Thursday, October 1, 2026 — National Day — Hong Kong is off, Mumbai is working.
- Monday, October 19, 2026 — Chung Yeung Festival — Hong Kong is off, Mumbai is working.
- Friday, December 25, 2026 — Christmas Day — Hong Kong is off, Mumbai is working.
- Saturday, December 26, 2026 — Boxing Day — Hong Kong is off, Mumbai is working.
With 6 shared working hours, Hong Kong 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.
