Best overlap: 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM in London is 12:30 PM to 6:30 PM in Bengaluru.
Schedule calls for 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM in London — your colleagues in Bengaluru will be online from 12:30 PM to 6:30 PM. Because you share 6 hours of the workday, there's no need to compromise; book the time that suits the meeting, not the map. Because London and Bengaluru don't both observe daylight saving, plan to re-check the overlap around March and November.
