Sanjoy founded Regain Paradise with the belief that technology and finance should work to better the planet and its people – a belief that has guided him throughout his career. Before founding Regain Paradise, he worked for a decade in the e-learning industry in efforts to democratise global access to education. In this industry, he managed the delivery of services out of India at SumTotal Systems, a global leader in providing learning and talent management software.

Sanjoy has conceptualised Regain Paradise and transformed it into a running business. He has  worked with international development financial institutions such as KfW, GIZ, UKAid, and USAID, as well as private sector impact investors like Caspian Debt and Energise Africa. In addition, he established partnerships with large consultancies and think tanks including adelphi, WRI, and Tetra Tech.

He has a Post-Graduate Diploma in Management from the Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta and a Bachelor of Technology degree from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur.

Passionate about climate issues, Sanjoy believes that it is absolutely critical to get people and businesses involved in solving this crisis. To do so, he believes it is important to keep the message simple and action-oriented.
