Best overlap: 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM in Chennai is 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM in Toronto.
For the smoothest call, aim inside 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM in Chennai, i.e. 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM in Toronto. Toronto is 9.5 hours behind Chennai. That's only 1 hour of overlap, so pair live calls with async follow-ups to make the most of it. Seasonal note: Toronto uses daylight saving and Chennai doesn't, so double-check the times in your own months — they can move by an hour.
