About Bengaluru

Bengaluru, also known as Bangalore, is the capital of Karnataka and the centre of India's technology industry. Global software companies, outsourcing firms and start-ups have large operations here, which is why people in the US, UK and Europe so often need to know the time in the city.

India uses India Standard Time at UTC+5:30 across the whole country and does not observe daylight saving. The half-hour offset means India is four and a half hours ahead of London in British summer and five and a half hours ahead in winter. Teams working with the US often schedule overlapping calls for the Indian evening.
