As a key member of the Asian Art Program, Sandhini Poddar is responsible for developing exhibitions, educational programs, and acquisitions of modern and contemporary Asian art for the Guggenheim's international network. She is the curator for Being Singular Plural, which opens at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in March 2012 after having been on view at Deutsche Guggenheim, Berlin, in 2010. Previously, she curated Anish Kapoor: Memory, a commissioned project for Deutsche Guggenheim (2008), which traveled to New York in 2009–10. She also served as assistant curator for Cai Guo-Qiang: I Want to Believe (2008–09), The Third Mind: American Artists Contemplate Asia, 1860–1989 (2009) and Lee Ufan: Marking Infinity (2011), and was a jury member for the 2008 Hugo Boss Prize. Poddar is also actively involved with the Curatorial Working Group for the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi and the Young Collectors Council in New York. She graduated with a master's degree in Visual Arts Administration from New York University, and has two additional master's degrees in art history and aesthetics from Bombay University with a focus on Indian, Islamic, and South East Asian art.
