Few pairs on this site are harder to schedule live than this one: New York and India's business hours barely touch, so any live call means someone is joining well outside a normal workday.
India keeps a fixed UTC+5:30 offset all year with no clock changes of its own, which means whenever the felt gap to New York seems to shift by an hour, it's New York's Daylight Saving Time doing the moving, not India's.
The compromise most US tech and outsourcing teams settle on is an early New York morning, roughly 7-9am Eastern — landing in India's evening rather than splitting the difference, since no hour of the day actually sits inside both sides' 9-to-5.

New York-Mumbai FAQ
Why does the New York-India gap shift across the year if India doesn't observe DST?
Because New York's own clock shifts twice a year for Daylight Saving Time while India's fixed UTC+5:30 offset never changes, so the gap between the two moves by an hour whenever only the US side changes.
Is there a time that works well for both sides' business hours?
Not a full 9-to-5 overlap — the workable compromise is typically New York's early morning meeting India's evening, since the two working days barely touch otherwise.
