Inventor of RaP7 Ball — A Fusion of Passion, Sport, and Innovation

From a spirited childhood in Palakkad to an inventive career at Ford, Rajan Paul’s lifelong love for sports led him to create RaP7 Ball — a thrilling new game blending Baseball and Cricket. Now 75, he’s on a mission to bring this global sport of the future to the world stage.

I am Rajan Paul, born in Kunnamkulam, raised in Palakkad. I loved sports more than my studies so my parents frequently grounded me for not giving enough attention to studies. It is because of their tender loving care and mentoring; I am who I am now. My Father was my technical advisor and mom was my spiritual leader.

Even with strict control at home, I managed to represent my school for soccer. During my college days, I represented my college for Soccer, Cricket and field Hockey. From Second Pre Degree thru Engineering, I was the opening bowler of my college Cricket Teams. During my final year Engineering I was the Soccer captain of my college. After migrating to USA, I continued Playing Soccer and Cricket. During the course of time, I picked up Baseball and played in leagues for people over 30.

I am an inventor, during my tenure with Ford Motor Company for 25 years, with an inventive mind, I involved in a few Engine related inventions. After retiring from Ford, I worked for Mahindra to develop my Crankless Engine technology.

When I started my freelance engineering consulting business, I started playing Pickle Ball, the fastest growing sports in the USA. Pickleball is a hybrid of Shuttle Badminton, Table Tennis and Tennis. While playing Pickle Ball, my inventive mind lead me to invent a new sport, RaP7 Ball Game, a hybrid of Baseball and Cricket; America’s National Pastime and the second most popular sport in the world.
