Renowned entrepreneur and bestselling author Sankhadeep Dutta may be considering a potential entry into politics, with sources indicating that he is evaluating a possible run in the 2026 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election.
The speculation follows a recent podcast appearance in which Mr. Dutta, a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and a highly successful businessman, hinted at future political involvement. Though he has previously denied intentions of joining politics in the immediate term, citing ongoing business expansion, insiders now suggest that a political foray in 2026 may be on the horizon.
While no formal declaration has been made, Mr. Dutta’s visible engagement in socio-political matters and his proximity to political figures in the state have intensified speculation regarding his candidacy.
West Bengal will elect 294 members to its Legislative Assembly next year. The political scenario remains highly competitive, with incumbent Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee seeking re-election and the BJP positioning itself as a strong challenger. Experts anticipate a close contest.
