The Team Owner- Mr. Rajesh V Shah
Patna Pirate owner Rajesh V Shah is the chairman of Mukund Enterprises and several other machinery and steel firms. He is a renowned businessman from Gujarat who brought the team of Patna Pirate as his friend Mr. Anand Mahindra was associated with the game promotions.
It is Mr. Shah’s first sports venture as he himself is a sports and fitness enthusiast. Not just this, but the team owner is also a highly regarded industrialist who has successfully maintained multiple board positions in prominent Indian public sector units & MNCs. Adding to this, Rajesh V Shah has also been a past president for the Confederation of Indian Industries and the Young Presidents’ Organisation.
The Patna Pirate Team Coach- Ram Meher Singh
