Best overlap: 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Mumbai is 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM in Dublin.
Shoot for 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Mumbai; your Dublin colleagues will see that as 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM. Dublin is 4.5 hours behind Mumbai, so you've got a workable 5-hour overlap — ideal for a standing meeting around 1:00 PM in Mumbai (8:30 AM in Dublin). Don't be caught out by clock changes — Dublin observes daylight saving and Mumbai doesn't, so the offset varies by an hour through the year.
