Best overlap: 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Mumbai is 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM in Casablanca.
1:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Mumbai is when Casablanca is also working, at 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM their time. Casablanca is 4.5 hours behind Mumbai. That leaves about 5 hours of common time — enough for a meeting or two, so use it deliberately.
