With 9 hours and 30 minutes between them there is no hour at which New York and Bangalore are both inside a 9:00–17:00 working day. Teams split across these two cities usually alternate the sacrifice: one week the meeting lands early (7:00–8:00) in New York and late (18:00–19:00) in the other city, the next week the other way round.
