When to schedule
Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in Lima and Chennai don't overlap on the same weekday. Chennai is 11 hours ahead of Lima.
With some flexibility, there’s a workable window outside standard hours:
- 7 AM–10 AM in Lima (5 PM–8 PM in Chennai) — suggest 8:00 AM Lima (6:30 PM Chennai).
This means an early start or late finish for one side, but it’s a reasonable slot for a one-off meeting.
Public holidays in 2026
National public holidays can affect availability — a counterpart is likely off work on their own holidays, so it's worth planning meetings and deadlines around them.
