Our staff

Davinder “Derv” Rao

aka DUPLAYS Water Boy

Managing Director & Co-Founder

Growing up vertically challenged in Canada, Derv has always had to work just a bit harder in the pursuit of sports excellence. In spite of his “water boy” persona, Derv is actually a non-swimmer. He sinks like a rock. Due, he claims, to his massive musculature.

Nauman

aka DUPLAYS Striker

Director of Employee Engagement

Nauman is DUPLAYS resident football junkie. He spends his days visiting facilities, his nights breaking up football scuffles and his free time watching English Premier League matches.

Suraj Gopinathan

aka DUPLAYS Scorekeeper

Chief Accountant

Suraj spent his childhood in Nigeria and teenage years in Kerala, India. Like most Indians, Suraj is a die-hard cricket fan, even though (field) hockey is the national sport, and he not-so-secretly wants to be a race car driver.

Ray Gibson

aka DUPLAYS Winger

Director of Abu Dhabi Operations

Ray loves the sea, misses the Scottish mountains and isn’t quite sure what to do with the desert yet. His passion is for the great outdoors and he’s played just about every sport, except golf.

Hussain Badri

aka DUPLAYS Fly-weight Champion

Operations Manager, Employee Engagement

Hussain grew up playing softball in a cricket loving nation. The speediest member of DUPLAYS, Hussain’s literally lightning quick. Apart from supporting Real Madrid and Arsenal, he’s a passionate filmmaker with six titles to his credit.

Adam M

aka DUPLAYS Coach

Account Manager, Employee Engagement

Adam and DUPLAYS are a match made in heaven. Adam is a Sport Science graduate and certified coach in football and cricket making him hungry to learn all there is about sports delivery.

Tony Velez

aka DUPLAYS Ref

Operations Assistant

Tony started as a DUPLAYS football referee in 2009. Always agreeable and eerily calm, he now handles all tasks thrown at him by the UAE Ops, Events and Employee Engagement teams.

Gareth Curtis

aka DUPLAYS Fly-Half

Operations Manager, Dubai

Gareth grew up in South Wales playing rugby, before packing it in due to his dislike of the cold weather and getting his boyish good looks smashed up every weekend. Now far happier in warmer climates, he spends his time watching his beloved Swansea City FC, pretending that he’s great at water-sports, and playing as much touch rugby as his legs will allow.

Monica Saadé

aka DUPLAYS Cheerleader

Marketing Manager

Don’t be deceived by her love for the color pink, Monica is tough! A Penn State graduate, Monica is half American-half Lebanese and enjoys playing Ultimate Frisbee, meeting new people and watching the Pittsburgh Steelers dominate.

Ravi Bhusari

aka DUPLAYS Chief Jock

Managing Director & Co-Founder

Ravi gave up waiting as a single man in the ‘Couples Only’ line at Dubai’s nightclubs to play sports 3 nights a week. He enjoys all sports where lack of skill can be made for by pure hustle (i.e. not golf). Ravi is half-Canadian, half-Indian and plays neither ice hockey nor cricket well.
