India sits a few hours ahead of most of Europe, which gives a generous shared window every day. You get live standups and real time decisions in your morning, then execution that carries on into your evening.
That rhythm makes an India team feel like a genuine extension rather than a distant vendor. Questions get answered the same day. Work is waiting when you return, not stuck in a queue.
For European teams that want senior capacity without losing collaboration, the overlap is the whole point.
