Your overlap window shifts by 1 hour twice yearly when clocks change.

About This Overlap

Ireland is Western Europe's tech hub and home to massive US tech companies (Google, Apple, Meta, Microsoft have large Irish offices). IST is 5h 30m ahead in winter (GMT) and 4h 30m ahead in summer (IST/Irish Summer Time — confusing terminology!). Dublin is a major tech centre. India–Ireland ties include pharma (Indian generic drugs), IT services, and tech partnerships. Same offset as UK (GMT/IST confusion aside).
