Los Angeles is 12.5 hours behind Colombo

There is no standard 8-to-6 overlap. Someone joins early or late.

Colombo and Los Angeles are 12.5 hours apart, and that gap is wide enough that their normal 9-to-5 workdays never quite touch. If you meet regularly, fix one off-hours slot and rotate it between Colombo and Los Angeles so the burden doesn't fall on one team. Because Los Angeles and Colombo don't both observe daylight saving, plan to re-check the overlap around March and November.
