Rajah Menuri Venkata Gurusaidutt or R. M. V. Gurusaidutt or Gurusai Dutt (born 1 March 1990) to RMV Bharadwaj and RM Anjana is a badminton player from India. He trains at the Hyderabad's Gopichand Badminton Academy and is supported by the GoSports Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation based out of Bangalore. He won the gold medal at the 2008 Commonwealth Youth Games and the bronze medal at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
He competed at the 2014 Asian Games.
Gurusai Dutt took up badminton as a sport after watching Pullela Gopichand, the 2001 All England champion, play at a local stadium. In 2005, he won the sub-junior national doubles title and also qualified for the sub-junior ABC Championship. This, according to him, spurred him to focus entirely on the sport. He started his training with Gopichand.
In the international circuit, Gurusai Dutt first appeared in the boys doubles category at the 2006 World Junior Championships. The pair of Gurusai Dutt and K. Tarun progressed only until the second round. The Hindu praised the enthusiastic effort and fighting quality of the pair's game play. He represented India in the team event category, but failed to win his singles match against a Thailand opponent. Gurusai Dutt won the 2007 Andhra Pradesh Senior Badminton Championships after defeating the top seed – his first title. He played a vastly superior and controlled game and he looked the better player.
Gurusai Dutt won the bronze medal at the 2008 BWF World Junior Championships that was held in Pune. While he was India's National Junior Champion, Gurusai Dutt won the 2008 Dutch Junior International that was held in Haarlem. He became the first Indian to win this title. This win was seen as a good sign for India's chances at the 2008 Commonwealth Youth Games.
