About Debasish Dutta
Debasish Dutta is a founder member of Orange Corp and serves as its CEO and Managing Partner. Crunchbase gives his location as Asia. Orange Corp describes itself as a multinational venture capital firm in the Limited Partner category. It also runs a business incubator and a management consultancy, and it has expanded into fashion and film production in Asia, Europe and the USA. Crunchbase lists the company as founded in 2007 and headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany.
His bio says he oversees venture capital investment across AI, entertainment and media (including film production under the Orange Corp banner), foods, information technology and value added infrastructure. It also says he is a film producer in Hollywood in his own capacity. According to the same bio, Orange Corp manages assets of more than US$ 24.7 billion worldwide. That figure is self-reported and we could not verify it independently.
In April 2021 he was accepted into the Forbes Finance Council, an invitation-only community for finance executives, according to a PRWeb release. His bio also says he is a speaker member of the Private Equity & Venture Capital Forum and has 11 study papers to his credit. Crunchbase lists him as a board member at Modelsmust.com and a board observer at Lionbite.
Crunchbase credits Debasish Dutta with 4 personal investments in 4 portfolio companies, 1 of them as lead investor. It records no exits and 1 company founded. Its most recent listed investment is an angel round in GoCreator. Crunchbase's timeline also shows Nimeya.ai (May 2021) and Resorta (November 2021) raising from him and Orange Corp, and it lists Spunn among his investments. Round sizes and exact dates for his own cheques are hidden or not shown on the public pages we found.
A 2021 business news report on Nimeya, an Orange Corp incubated startup, names him among its angel investors. The report said Nimeya was in talks to raise $10 million. His bio also describes him as a mentor and accelerator to emerging venture capitalists.
Artificial intelligence is the first sector named in his bio, and Crunchbase tags Orange Corp with AI, fashion, food processing, information technology and media and entertainment. We did not find a public announcement of an AI-specific angel cheque from him that states a year, a round or an amount. One of his Crunchbase-listed investments carries ".ai" in its name (Nimeya.ai). Press describes it as a personal financial wellness app for individuals, families and family offices. Founders building AI products should treat his AI interest as a stated sector focus, not as a record of disclosed AI deals.
Orange Corp's Crunchbase profile lists its investor types as angel group, corporate venture capital, incubator, venture capital and venture debt. It lists its stages as early stage venture, seed and venture. The company says it invests in startups, early stage businesses and businesses with significant growth prospects. It says it has a presence in 32 countries, and an Indian news report says nearly 30. Orange Corp also describes an incubation track record of 130+ startups and 680+ investments. These are company claims, and we have not verified them.
His bio says he sees growth potential in areas that venture capitalists have so far left untouched. It does not name those areas. His bio also mentions growth across geographies and reducing carbon footprint. His personal check size is not public, and Crunchbase hides his investor type and stage fields. We are not stating a range.
