Hattangadi studied at the St. Mary's School, Mumbai and Podar College. He had scored 323 not out in an inter-collegiate final at the Wankhede Stadium. He was coached in his early career by Vasant Amladi and Vithal Patil.[1]

He went on to make his first-class debut at the age of 19. He played as an opening batsman, opening the innings with Sunil Gavaskar on several occasions in the Mumbai team. In a career that lasted 11 seasons, Hattangadi made over 3000 runs including 10 centuries and was the captain for several matches. He retired from cricket at the age of 29, after he "stopped enjoying the game".[1]
