How do you pronounce "बाद में" in Hindi?
baad MAY with the nose open — a dental d at the end of the first word, and a nasalized long e in the second.
baad meṁ
Say baad-meṁ as a single rhythmic unit with the beat on the noun, since postpositions lean on what comes before them. The two syllables are similar in weight but differ in nasality, which is where the interest lies.

"Baad meṁ baat karte haiṁ" uses the habitual present as a soft future — "let's talk later" — and baat right after meṁ starts with the same b and long aa as baad. That near-repetition is a good check that your dental d and dental t are distinct from each other.
Where English speakers slip
The final d in baad gets devoiced toward t by English speakers, and meṁ acquires a real n or ng at the end. Neither is right: keep the voicing running through the d, and let meṁ be a pure nasalized vowel with the tongue never touching anything.
