03 Time zones

Given my time zone, when do we overlap?

In your morning and our evening. India is 9.5 to 13.5 hours ahead of the US, depending on your coast and the season, so the overlap is widest for the East Coast and narrowest for the West.

Time-zone arithmetic: India does not change its clocks

Reading the table

  • US clocks go forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November. India keeps one clock all year, so the gap grows by an hour in the US winter.
  • On the East Coast, the start of your day is the Bengaluru evening: 09:00 in New York is 18:30 or 19:30 in Bengaluru.
  • On the West Coast, 09:00 in San Francisco is 21:30 or 22:30 in Bengaluru, so fewer hours are shared, and the next section covers how work keeps moving across the gap.
  • Central and Mountain time sit between the two coasts.
  • Our standing call window: 08:00 to 12:00 Eastern on the East Coast, and 08:00 to 11:00 Pacific on the West Coast. Outside those hours, message us on WhatsApp at +91 70440 74445.

04 The handoff

Working across the time gap: the overnight handoff

The gap puts the Bengaluru working day in your night: at 09:00 in Bengaluru it is late evening on the East Coast and evening on the West Coast.

  1. Your evening

    At the end of your day, you leave decisions and priorities on the shared board.

  2. Your morning

    A written update is ready by your morning, with a build you can try where the work allows.

  3. The overlap

    Questions that need a conversation are batched into the overlap call.

Outside the call windows, message us on WhatsApp at +91 70440 74445, write to hello@tailwebs.com or call +91 95907 08339. On a Care and Growth plan, critical issues get a response within 4 business hours.

How a project runs from the first call to launch is on how we work.

    The scope, price and timeline of each piece of work, agreed in writing before it starts.

07 Health and privacy

Health data and US privacy: what we know, what we don’t claim

We plan for the rules that apply to your data before the build, and we say plainly what we can sign. What follows is general knowledge, not legal advice: your compliance lead confirms what applies.

General knowledge · not legal advice

  • Federal and sector rules

    Which of these apply depends on your organisation and the data your product holds.

    • The US has no single federal privacy law like the GDPR. Obligations come from sector and state laws: see the FTC’s privacy and security guidance.
    • For health data, HIPAA can apply to covered entities and their business associates that handle protected health information: see hhs.gov/hipaa.

  • State privacy laws

    Which of these apply depends on where your users live and what you collect.

    • State privacy laws, such as California’s, can apply to consumer data: see oag.ca.gov for California.

  • Our practice

    Production runs in cloud accounts you own, in the US where possible, and a data processing agreement is available.

    • If your project handles protected health information, we agree the data-handling terms with your compliance lead before work starts.
    • We use test data, not real patient data, in development environments.

Knowledge, not a badge

Your compliance lead decides which rules apply and signs off, and we build to their requirements. We do not claim HIPAA certification, and we tell you plainly what we can sign.

How we handle data is on data and security.

08 FAQ

Questions from US companies.

Do you work with clients in the US?
Yes. For example, we built Mr Delivery's ordering and delivery ecosystem in Austin, Texas, and the web app for Metropolitan Anesthesia Consultants, a US healthcare client.
What hours do you overlap with US teams?
India is 9.5–13.5 hours ahead of the US depending on coast and season, so the overlap is the US morning and our evening. Our standing call window is 08:00 to 12:00 Eastern and 08:00 to 11:00 Pacific; outside it, message us on WhatsApp at +91 70440 74445.
How much does a dedicated developer cost in USD?
About $2,200–4,800 a month for one full-time engineer.
Can you work with health data or under HIPAA?
Yes. Your compliance lead sets the requirements and we build to them. Production runs in cloud accounts you own where possible, and a data processing agreement is available.
Can you work as an offshore development center for a US company?
Yes. A dedicated developer or a product squad in Bengaluru works only on your product, in your own tools, and there is no separate entity to set up.
Can an AI development company in India build AI features for US users?
Yes: we build AI features and chatbots, and run our own, such as TailGPT, which puts an AI agent on a business website, and Kaipo, a conversational AI app in 23 languages. AI model usage is billed at cost and, where possible, runs in your own provider account. More on AI development.
