Best overlap: 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM in Bengaluru is 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Sydney.
Plan around 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM in Bengaluru, which is 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Sydney, to catch everyone during office hours. Since Sydney is 4.5 hours ahead of Bengaluru, the workdays overlap by around 5 hours; 8:30 AM in Bengaluru (1:00 PM in Sydney) makes a reliable recurring slot. Daylight saving complicates things slightly: Sydney observes it, Bengaluru doesn't, so the difference flexes by an hour part of the year.
