Quick answer
5 PM IST is 6:30 AM EST in New York in winter, or 7:30 AM EDT in summer. India Standard Time is UTC+5:30 and does not change with seasons.
How to use this time conversion
The end of the India working day (5 PM IST) reaches New York in the early morning - before most US teams start work. This window works for handoffs and asynchronous updates, but live meetings at 5 PM IST require New York to join at 6:30-7:30 AM.
What is 5 PM IST in New York?
5 PM IST is 6:30 AM EST in winter or 7:30 AM EDT in summer in New York. India does not observe daylight saving - the US clock change shifts the New York result.
Why can the answer change?
The answer can change when one location observes daylight saving time and the other does not, or when they switch clocks on different dates.
What is a practical US-India meeting time that works for both sides?
A 8-9 AM New York time slot lands at 6:30-7:30 PM IST - end of India's day. Alternatively, 8 PM New York / 8:30 AM IST catches the India morning while requiring the US side to stay late. Use the main tool to visualise your team's full overlap.
