Scheduling between the two

Working hours overlap from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm EAT, which is 11:30 am to 6:30 pm IST. Anything inside that window falls in the normal working day at both ends.

A note on IST: it can also mean Israel Standard Time (UTC+2) and Irish Standard Time (UTC+1). This page means India Standard Time, which is what almost all searches for IST want.

East Africa Time (EAT) is used in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Ethiopia

India Standard Time (IST) is used in all of India and Sri Lanka, on a single UTC+5:30 offset with no daylight saving
