DEBASHISH DUTTA

Creator and Strategy Architect

Banker. Photographer. Innovator.
Debashish leverages a 25-year career with giants like HSBC, ABN AMRO, Royal Bank of Scotland, Credit Suisse, and State Street to bridge the gap between passion and commerce. While recognizing the financial power of the IPL, he identified a critical market inefficiency: the decline of Test cricket and its restriction to established markets. This insight led to the creation of RAPITEST — a Test cricket format created for the supersonic age and designed to revitalize the sport's most prestigious format. He leads a rewarding creative life.

A celebrated wildlife photographer, Debashish has been published widely in mainstream media and recognized globally, including finals spots in the prestigious Africa Geographic and Remembering Wildlife contests. Committed to sustainability, he also launched the Children for Environment mobile app to make children curious about the planet.

VISHAL VASISHT

Managing Partner

An Aviator, Music Enthusiast and Lover of Test Cricket
Vishal's career as a professional pilot spanning over the last 34 years has shaped his temperament - disciplined, detail-driven and calm under pressure. Vishal has applied that same mindset to a revolutionary idea aimed at reimagining Test cricket for a modern audience. He believes tradition doesn't need to be kept in amber to be respected. The focus should be in evolving the longest format of the game without losing its soul, using thoughtful innovation, fan-first thinking and long term vision. Outside the cockpit and the cricketing whiteboard, one will usually find him immersed in classic rock n roll or dissecting films for story and meaning. Because great music and great cinema, like great sport are timeless when done right.
