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.
