Best overlap: 11:30 AM to 6:30 PM in Kolkata is 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM in Budapest.
Plan around 11:30 AM to 6:30 PM in Kolkata, which is 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM in Budapest, to catch everyone during office hours. Budapest is 3.5 hours behind Kolkata, but you'd hardly notice — 7 hours of shared hours makes this feel like working in neighbouring time zones. Note that Budapest follows daylight saving while Kolkata stays put, so the times above drift by an hour seasonally.
