Time difference between São Paulo and Delhi

Delhi is 8 hours 30 minutes ahead of São Paulo

São Paulo, Brazil is UTC−3 · Delhi, India is UTC+5:30 — on standard time

The gap holds all year

Neither city changes its clocks — São Paulo does not change its clocks and Delhi does not change its clocks — so 8 hours 30 minutes is the difference in January and in July alike. That is worth knowing about this pair specifically, because most international pairs do move and a recurring meeting between them does not need checking twice a year.

When they can both be at their desks

Nine-to-five in São Paulo and nine-to-five in Delhi do not overlap at all. With 8 hours 30 minutes between them, one side is always outside working hours, and the practical question is which side takes the early start or the late finish rather than when to meet.
