Best overlap: 11:30 AM to 6:30 PM in Bengaluru is 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM in Amsterdam.
Keep meetings inside 11:30 AM to 6:30 PM in Bengaluru — that maps to 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM in Amsterdam. Despite the 3.5-hour difference, a 7-hour overlap keeps things simple and gives both teams breathing room. These times hold for most of the year, but Amsterdam's daylight saving (which Bengaluru doesn't use) shifts them by an hour twice annually.
