==Business interests==
Swapan Sadhan Bose is the owner of the cargo-handling '''Ripley & Co''' which had a turnover of {{INR}}3 billion in 2008-09. In [[Dubai]], where Bose spends more than half his time now, he runs Radio Asia Network and the Dolphin Recording Studio. The radio network — Radio Asia (AM) in Malayalam, Suno 1024 (FM) in Hindi/Urdu and Super 947 (FM) in Malayalam and Tamil — reaches out to Indians in West Asia. The interest in media is not new, though. He diversified his business interests through the Bengali newspaper ''[[Sangbad Pratidin]]'' in August 1992. In the mid-1990s, he launched the Kolkata edition of ''[[The Asian Age]]'', which he exited towards the end of the decade by selling a 74 per cent stake to [[Vijay Mallya]].

==Political affiliation==
In his early years, Bose was known to be close to the [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)]], and was said to have some business ties with late Jyoti Basu's son, Chandan Basu. It was during those times that Bose acquired a 74 per cent stake in state-owned Niramoy Polyclinic (now AMRI) along with S K Todi, also known for his Left leanings. It was given on lease to the consortium. Later, in 1996, Bose sold his stake to Emami.<ref>{{cite web|last=Pranesh Sarkar and Sambit Saha|title=How state watched its stake decline and lost the steering|url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1111210/jsp/nation/story_14863877.jsp#.UYEdiNm_6XY|publisher=[[The Telegraph (Calcutta)|The Telegraph]]|accessdate=10 December 2011}}</ref>

Bose changed his political affiliation to the Trinamool Congress in early 2000. In 2005, he became a Member of Parliament. His son, [[Srinjoy Bose]], took his place in the Rajya Sabha from the Trinamool Congress in 2011.<ref>{{cite web|title=Website of Shri Srinjoy Bose Member of Parliament|url=http://164.100.47.5:8080/members/Website/Mainweb.asp?mpcode=2185|publisher=[[Rajya Sabha]]}}</ref>
