How This Pair Actually Operates
Patna and Tokyo have a dependable shared block, but the good slot is narrow enough that lunch, late starts, and DST drift can still damage meeting quality.
Anchor important meetings to the shared band and treat the rest of the day as async support time.

Scheduling Pressure Points
Anchor important meetings to the shared band and treat the rest of the day as async support time.

Tokyo Business Pulse

How to Pick a Slot
- Check the current clocks. Review the live Patna and Tokyo clocks to confirm the real offset and DST state right now.
- Inspect the overlap band. Use the dashboard slider to test the 09:00 to 14:00 Patna window before you promise a recurring slot.
- Rotate the compromise. If one city keeps taking the early or late edge, rotate the recurring slot instead of freezing the burden in one direction.
