Why people convert Addis Ababa to Karachi time

Scheduling a call from Addis Ababa to Karachi: a 10:00 AM start in Addis Ababa lands at 12:00 PM in Karachi, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Addis Ababa and Karachi are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM EAT time (11:00 AM–5:00 PM PKT). That is roughly 6 hours of usable overlap.
Coordinating a Addis Ababa-based team with Karachi contacts: quoting times in the other side's local clock — not your own — removes the single biggest source of missed meetings.
