Why people convert Copenhagen to Delhi time

Scheduling a call from Copenhagen to Delhi: a 10:00 AM start in Copenhagen lands at 1:30 PM in Delhi, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Copenhagen and Delhi are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 1:30 PM CEST time (12:30 PM–5:00 PM IST). That is roughly 4 hours 30 minutes of usable overlap.
Coordinating a Copenhagen-based team with Delhi contacts: quoting times in the other side's local clock — not your own — removes the single biggest source of missed meetings.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM CEST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +3h 30m gap is not.
Block 9:00 AM–1:30 PM CEST as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Copenhagen and need Delhi colleagues present.
Copenhagen: Clocks fall back on Sun, Oct 25, 2026. Re-check this page after that date because the offset changes and so does the +3h 30m gap.
