Where this number comes from
India works 10:00–19:00 and the United Arab Emirates 08:00–17:00, each on its own clock. The overlap is the intersection of those two days once both are put on the same axis .
The week on each side
India works Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. the United Arab Emirates works Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. The weeks line up, so the only thing to get right is the hour.
