Prof. Sudipta Dutta was born on August 29, 1976. He did his B.Stat. (1997), M.Stat. (1999) at Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) Kolkata. He worked for his Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Pradipta Bandyopadhyay at ISI Kolkata, completing it in 2004. Subsequently, he was a post-doctoral fellow at the Department of Mathematics, Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Beer-Sheva Campus, Israel, during the period 2004-06. During 2006-07, he was a visiting scientist at ISI Kolkata. He joined IIT Kanpur as Assistant Professor in July, 2007, and became a Professor in 2016.
Sudipta's research interests included Banach space theory, Operator spaces and Abstract harmonic analysis. He was quite well-known in his area. In the short span of less than 15 years, he published about 25 articles, all in premier journals. He was awarded the Indo-U.S. Science and Technology Fellowship in 2008-09, and the P K Kelkar Young Research Fellowship of IIT Kanpur.
Two students got their Ph.D. degrees under his supervision. He was supervising the thesis of a third student at the time of his demise. He taught elective courses on a variety of topics, and his teaching was much appreciated by the students of the department.
Sudipta's contribution to the department as part of different committees was immense. In particular, he was very successful as convener of the faculty search committee – it was due to his proactive efforts that the department recruited a good number of promising young colleagues.
With Sudipta's untimely and shocking demise, the department has lost a star faculty. His immaculate wit and humour will be missed, especially during faculty meetings.
Sudipta will be remembered for the impact that he leaves behind in his tragically short life. He is survived by his wife, Rohini and 10 year old son, Soham. May the family get the strength to bear and cope with this irreparable loss.

I had different opinions from his on various issues; however, I never felt that he is saying anything with any hidden agenda. He was a very transparent and a straightforward person. And, his academic supremacy was very much well-known to all of us. Untimely loss of Sudipta-da creates a big hole in our department.

We would miss the radiant warmth and spontaneity of Sudipta. His life has left its weave into many of us and his memories would always be cherished. Heartfelt condolences to Rohini & Soham.

Dear Sudipto,
Needless to say that we are all missing you. Only the other day, we were discussing about the Abol Tabol club. I cannot even imagine what Soham and Rohini and all your family members are going through. It is hard to accept that you are no more with us.
