Testimonials

● Professor Hanna Lehtimaki

Professor (Innovation Management), Business School, University of Eastern Finland,, Finland

“Subhanjan came to do research under my supervision as a visiting PhD researcher with the international CIMO Fellowship. With Subhanjan I have explored, analysed and learned about social entrepreneurship. Subhanjan is a promising scholar with a potential for a great international academic career ahead of him. He is very passionate about the topic of his research, social innovation and entrepreneurship, and he is skilled in qualitative research which is important when studying a globally emerging phenomenon. I appreciate Subhanjan for his curiosity to critically question the taken-for-granted, ability to learn fast and commitment to make a change in society. At the University of Eastern Finland, Business School, Innovation Management, Subhanjan has conducted research and participated in teaching a course on social entrepreneurship. I have been impressed by his ability to adapt to a foreign culture and working environment. It has been a pleasure to get to know him and work with him; and we will continue to work together and collaborate. He will be a great addition to any academic team anywhere in the globe.”

● Professor Arunaditya Sahay

“I know Subhanjan, whose thesis I supervised, for over 4 years. I had the opportunity to interact with him and know him very closely. I have no hesitation in stating about his result orientation, commitment, aspiration, and genuineness in research work. He is a keen observer and has an eye on minute details. His clarity of thought, analytical ability, and level of enthusiasm has impressed me. It vividly comes out of his Ph.D. thesis and publications in indexed international journals. His ability to venture into areas which are new and challenging and to engage with different stakeholders and informants relevant to the study is above par which is evident from his scholarly writing for both academia and practitioners. He got international doctoral fellowship from the Govt. of Finland to pursue further research and teaching at the University of Eastern Finland on account of these qualities. I am sure he will be an asset to any institution and any project that he joins and works for. I wish him all success in his career.”
