Why people convert Delhi to Bogotá time

Scheduling a call from Delhi to Bogotá: a 10:00 AM start in Delhi lands at 11:30 PM in Bogotá the previous day, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Handling a -10h 30m gap: Delhi and Bogotá have no overlap inside a normal 9-to-5 day, so real-time meetings need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side. 9:00 AM in Bogotá is 10:30 PM in Delhi.
Keeping family and friends in sync: knowing that 8:00 PM in Delhi is 9:30 AM in Bogotá makes it easy to avoid calling at 3 AM.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM IST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -10h 30m gap is not.
With a -10h 30m gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week Delhi takes the early slot, the next week Bogotá does.
