Best overlap: 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM in Anchorage is 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM in Bengaluru.
Schedule calls for 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM in Anchorage — your colleagues in Bengaluru will be online from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM. Since Bengaluru is 14.5 hours ahead of Anchorage, the overlap is narrow (about 1 hour); a single, well-protected slot beats hunting for time each week. Don't get caught out: Bengaluru is the next day from Anchorage, so "tomorrow" means different things to each team. Because Anchorage and Bengaluru don't both observe daylight saving, plan to re-check the overlap around March and November.
