Debdeep Roy

Tresurer

By day, Debdeep is a management professional; evenings find him as a devoted husband and father, and weekends, a social butterfly. He’s committed to ensuring sustainable income for Boston Durgabari. A finance enthusiast, he delves into the financial well-being of his Fortune 100 clients and other organizations he advises. In addition to his role as Treasurer, he spearheads community outreach, marketing, and PR for BDB

SIddharth Dutta

Secretary

In the early 2000s, Siddharth, a Mumbai native, pursued his Engineering Master’s in New York, inspired by the Y2K wave. Despite challenges, he upheld Bengali traditions, serving on Durga Puja committees even in California. Now in Massachusetts, he preserves cultural heritage through Boston Durgabari while juggling engineering and cricket. A sitar enthusiast taught by his father, Siddharth hopes to play again

Paitik Basak

Vice President

As a software engineer, avid traveler, and proud father of two, I’m passionate about food, people, and culture. From my early days as a reader, I’ve sought to live the stories by connecting with people and communities, sharing in their food, music, and culture. Originally from Kolkata, India, I’ve found a home in Boston Durga Bari for nearly a decade, blending my Bengali roots with the American dream.

Debnil Dutta

Vice President

In my quest for a fulfilling professional life, I’ve traveled both physically and emotionally, seeking the warmth of community and local connections. Boston Durgabari has been a haven, where I’ve learned the value of community, equality, and collaboration. Taking ownership in work and decisions brings me immense fulfillment, and I cherish the opportunity to contribute positively. Professionally, I’m a passionate software evangelist and developer.
