Why people convert Santiago to Karachi time

Scheduling a call from Santiago to Karachi: a 10:00 AM start in Santiago lands at 6:00 PM in Karachi, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Handling a +8h gap: Santiago and Karachi 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 Karachi is 5:00 PM in Santiago.
Coordinating a Santiago-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.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM CLST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +8h gap is not.
With a +8h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week Santiago takes the early slot, the next week Karachi does.
