Born in Rochester, New York, Sanjit attended the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University where he received a Bachelors of Fine Arts in 1994 and subsequently a Masters of Fine Arts at the University of Georgia in 1998 working in both sculpture and ceramics.

Since that time he has done a residency at the Banff Centre in Alberta, Canada, been a visiting assistant professor at Saint Mary's College in Notre Dame, Indiana, and an instructor at the Chicago Art Institute. Sanjit earned a Master of Science in Advanced Visual Studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Visual Arts Program in 2002.

His work consistently deals with issues of nomadism, identity, the residue of labor, memory, and movement in the urban sphere. Finishing a two-year endeavor, the Wheel Project in Toronto, Canada, Sanjit continues his strong focus on interdisciplinary collaboration. Having completed two years of teaching at the Visual Arts Program at MIT, Sanjit is most recently returned from a year-long Fulbright scholarship working on the Building Nomads Project in Bangalore, India.

Future works for Sanjit include a collaborative project entitled Urban Defibrillation and a road intervention entitled Rumble Strip, both involving various disparate academic, social, and geographic communities.
