Kolkata is 12.5 hours ahead of Los Angeles

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

Kolkata is 12.5 hours ahead of Los Angeles, which is far enough that a normal 9-to-5 in one city never reaches the other's working hours. One practical option: Los Angeles dials in early while it's still late afternoon or evening in Kolkata. Finally, Los Angeles 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.
