Career
Research and Theoretical Work
The main area of research of Shreyasee Das is the interconnection of economic value, human consciousness, philosophy and cognition. Her research is dedicated to alternative methods of evaluation of wealth, which are not limited to such criteria as personal savings, income and gross domestic product (GDP).
Sustainable Theory of Wealth
One of the most notable achievements of Shreyasee Das is the creation of Sustainable Theory of Wealth. This theory is interdisciplinary in nature and unites the ideas of economic thought with Indian metaphysics, thermodynamics and cognitive science. The concept of wealth is seen as a dynamic process of energy flow, described by the formula:[3][4]
<math>\text{Wealth} = \text{Energy} \times \text{Circulation} \times \text{Time}</math>
The model suggests a 4 Capitals Model comprising of four parts:
- Knowledge Capital: Knowledge, understanding, conceptualization and technical abilities.
- Purpose Capital: Intentionality, ethics and direction.
- Time Capital: Attention and time management.
- Physical Capital: Tangible assets, technological resources and ecological resources.
According to the theory, sustainable prosperity is determined by the relations between these four parts rather than by financial accumulation alone.
Philosophical Systems and Conceptual Frameworks
Using the variable X as a conceptual tool in her book Get To Know The I, Das relates individual consciousness, human agency and self-awareness to the concept of Pancha Tattva, or five classical elements of Indian philosophy:
- Prithvi (Earth): Structural stability, ability and resource retention.
- Jala (Water): Flexibility, empathy, adaptability and transaction.
- Agni (Fire): Value creation, transformation and creative power.
- Vayu (Air): Information transfer and communication networks.
- Akash (Space): Awareness, perspective and system presence.
In her book The Soil and The Sentence – GAIE, Das investigates the relationship between biological systems of soil, language and cognition through the concept of "mother container". The "Onflux of Container" principle underlies the importance of internal capacity to retain and use resources. She expresses this idea through the relationship:
<math>\text{Container Capacity} = \text{Prana (Vitality)} + \text{Vak (Articulated Speech)} + \text{Ojas (Resilience)}</math>
Furthermore, the Solar Consciousness framework consists of three phases, namely Physical Sun, Astral Sun, and Void Sun. Each phase indicates a stable phase, the one of intellectual and institutional presence and legacy respectively.
MindSpace (MindSpace Idea)
In the year 2026, Shreyasee Das launched an entrepreneurial venture called MindSpace, also referred to as MindSpace Idea as a part of BriSharks entrepreneurship program. This initiative is especially aimed at students of 11th and 12th standard classes.
The MindSpace project concentrates on personal development, mindfulness, problem solving skills and education & career decision making. This initiative proposes a learning process involving attention related approaches, behavioral ethics and aspects of Sustainable Theory of Wealth for students' contemplation regarding their skills, priorities and future ambitions.
