Houston is 10.5 hours behind Kolkata

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

There's no shared 9-to-5 between Kolkata and Houston; at 10.5 hours apart, one city's workday is the other's evening or night. Your best bet is one team taking an early-morning or late-evening call — alternating who stretches keeps it fair over time. Finally, Houston observes daylight saving and Kolkata doesn't, so this window shifts by an hour for part of the year — recheck it each spring and autumn.
