Subhanjan Sengupta

I am an Academy Research Fellow and Principal Investigator of Project MILESTONE at the Business School, Faculty of Social Sciences and Business Studies, University of Eastern Finland.

Currently, I have a keen interest on how both business and non-business organizations integrate social and environmental sustainability in the solutions (products, services) that they create for societies and markets. More particularly, entrepreneurial, institutional, and business model perspectives interest me in this regard. With that realm of interest, my current research project is about the making of a socially inclusive circular economy through sustainability-driven entrepreneurship.

Prior to this, I have researched social entrepreneurship in rural settings, particularly on the social-market convergence, resource dependency, and ethics as practice. Occasionally, I also participate in multidisciplinary understandings related to my research by collaborating with specialists from other fields such as environmental sciences, biological sciences, and policy studies.

I have developed and taught courses to postgraduate students on basics of entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship, responsible business, and strategic management. At the doctoral level, I have developed and taught courses on qualitative research methods.
