Dr. Subhanjan Sengupta works at the Business School, University of Eastern Finland, as an Academy of Finland PostDoc and Principal Investigator of Project MILESTONE (Making Circular Economy Socially Inclusive through Entrepreneurship), funded by the Academy of Finland. 

I have a keen interest on how entrepreneurship integrates and advances social and environmental sustainability. It intrigues me to explore the capacity of entrepreneurial actors (sustainability-oriented enterprises, social enterprises) and institutional actors (networks, communities) in doing so jointly. With that interest, my current research is mainly about the making of a socially inclusive circular economy through entrepreneurship and the role of business models in sustainability.

Prior to this, I have studied social entrepreneurship in rural settings, particularly on the social-market convergence and the ethic of care. Occasionally, I also try to develop a multidisciplinary understanding in my research by collaborating with specialists from other fields such as environmental sciences, biological sciences, and policy.

I have developed and taught courses on entrepreneurship, responsible and sustainable business, strategic management, and qualitative research methods.
