Best time to meet
Normal office hours in New Delhi and San Diego don't overlap. The most workable window is 6:30 PM to 10 PM in San Diego, which is 7 AM to 10:30 AM in New Delhi, with one side starting early or finishing late.
For a recurring meeting, it's fairest to rotate which city takes the inconvenient slot.
