Best overlap: 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM in Hyderabad is 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM in Boston.
Shoot for 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM in Hyderabad; your Boston colleagues will see that as 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM. Boston is 9.5 hours behind Hyderabad. That's only 1 hour of overlap, so pair live calls with async follow-ups to make the most of it. Don't be caught out by clock changes — Boston observes daylight saving and Hyderabad doesn't, so the offset varies by an hour through the year.
