The Beginning
A Father's Dream.
What Drives Us
What We Stand For
A Father's Dream.
A Daughter's Promise.
Bagchi Sports was more than a business. Founded by a man deeply connected to the Cricket Association of Bengal, it was a mission — to put quality gear in the hands of young players who had the talent but not always the access. For years, Bagchi Sports was a trusted name in Bengal cricket circles, nurturing new talent, one player at a time.
When illness forced its closure, it left behind not just a brand, but a community of players who had believed in it. And a daughter who never forgot what it stood for.
Suparna Bagchi — CEO of Playe.in — reopened that door. Not just to carry on a name, but to carry forward a purpose. Playe is Bagchi Sports reborn for a new generation — digital, bold, and built for the India that plays today.
"My father built Bagchi Sports on one belief — that every player deserves great gear, regardless of where they come from. Playe is my promise to keep that belief alive."
