For the smoothest call, aim inside 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Sydney, i.e. 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM in Mumbai. Since Mumbai is 4.5 hours behind Sydney, the workdays overlap by around 5 hours; 1:00 PM in Sydney (8:30 AM in Mumbai) makes a reliable recurring slot. Don't be caught out by clock changes — Sydney observes daylight saving and Mumbai doesn't, so the offset varies by an hour through the year.
