How many hours ahead is São Paulo of Kolkata?

Why do the times differ between São Paulo and Kolkata?

São Paulo, Brazil (GMT-3) is 8 hours 30 minutes behind Kolkata, India (GMT+5:30).

How is this conversion worked out?

Kolkata runs on Asia/Kolkata (GMT+5:30) and São Paulo on America/Sao_Paulo (GMT-3), a difference of 8 hours 30 minutes this week. The peak hours themselves are measured in Kolkata local time, and that figure never moves. What moves is the reading on your own clock, twice a year, when either place changes for daylight saving. The two places do not always change on the same date, so for a couple of weeks each spring and autumn the difference is an hour off its usual value; that is why these pages are rebuilt every week rather than computed once.

Does any platform peak on a different day in São Paulo?

Facebook peaks on a different calendar day in São Paulo than in Kolkata, so scheduling by day name alone will miss it. Converted times use the offsets in force this week (GMT-3 and GMT+5:30). The audience-clock column never changes; the converted column is rebuilt weekly so it stays right across daylight-saving changes. The same times apply across Kolkata's timezone, including Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and Chennai.
