Best overlap: 2:30 PM to 6:30 PM in Auckland is 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM in Mumbai.
2:30 PM to 6:30 PM in Auckland is when Mumbai is also working, at 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM their time. You get roughly 4 hours of shared time, so aim for the middle of that window to keep the call comfortable for both teams. The window above shifts seasonally: Auckland keeps daylight saving while Mumbai ignores it.
