Sebanti completed her graduation in Sociology from Presidency College in 2008. Currently she is pursuing Masters in the same subject from Jadavpur University. Sebanti has also won the SYLFF Fellowship.  

As a M.A. Level SYLFF Fellow (2009-2010) her research focuses on an offbeat arena of sociology - namely sociology of music. She will work in the area of western classical music – attempting to study the shifts in the socio-economic positions of the western classical musicians in Kolkata. The objective of her work is to understand a profession which is not only unconventional but also isn’t indigenous. Alongside these, the scope and utility of music therapy will be explored. 

Sebanti partakes in a diverse set of activities which includes being a member of the Rotaract - a youth pro gramme of rotary international, learning Spanish at The Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture and also the western classical guitar.  

She has interned with ASHA - an NGO dealing with women and children in unorganized sectors and their health problems. Later she also worked with them on a part time basis. Besides she has worked with TERI (an NGO dealing with environment problems and climate change) and Mothers heart (an animal lovers association).
