set global timezone in .net core

In .Net Core 2 -

Is there a way to set the application's timezone globally so that whenever I request for DateTime.Now I'll get the current time for a timezone I want (lets say GMT+3) instead of the time of the server where the application is hosted?

I figured a good place to have a configuration providing this would be the Startup.cs file, but my search queries gets me nowhere with this.

No.

DateTime.Now always returns the time in the system's local time zone.

You can use TimeZoneInfo for this

DateTime eastern = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeBySystemTimeZoneId(DateTime.Now, "Eastern Standard Time");

Replace with the desired time zone.
