How This Pair Actually Operates
Karachi and Mumbai have a dependable shared block, but the good slot is narrow enough that lunch, late starts, and DST drift can still damage meeting quality.
Anchor important meetings to the shared band and treat the rest of the day as async support time.

Scheduling Pressure Points
Anchor important meetings to the shared band and treat the rest of the day as async support time.
