Could UTC Replace Time Zones?
Swatch once tried to kill time zones with .beats. But could UTC be the serious replacement the world actually needs? -
Best overlap: 12:30 PM to 6:30 PM in Melbourne is 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM in Mumbai.
Your shared working hours run 12:30 PM to 6:30 PM in Melbourne (8:00 AM to 2:00 PM in Mumbai). The 4.5-hour gap barely gets in the way — you've got 6 hours of overlap, so pick whatever time fits the agenda. Just remember Melbourne changes its clocks for daylight saving and Mumbai doesn't, so confirm the overlap whenever the seasons turn.
