Sinha finished his schooling fromDon Bosco Park Circus, Kolkata. He obtained his B.Sc. FromJadavpur University, Kolkata in 1999, and MA,CASM and PhD fromUniversity of Cambridge. Sinha ranked first in B.Sc. and won theMayhew prize for the part III mathematics degree inUniversity of Cambridge. His PhD advisor was ProfessorMichael Green.

Sinha is a professor at Center for High Energy Physics,Indian Institute of Science inBangalore, India. He was awarded a Ramanujan Fellowship in 2010[2] He was awarded the Swarnajayanti Fellowship, instituted by theDepartment of Science and Technology, India.[3] Sinha won the 2016ICTP Prize.[4] He received theShanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology 2019 for his influential work on aspects of quantum field theory and string theory, in particular, on conformal bootstrap and entanglement entropy.[5]Sinha is known for his work with Rob Myers on c-theorems inquantum field theories.[6] Sinha and his wife,Urbasi Sinha, a professor at theRaman Research Institute (RRI), along with other scientists in RRI working in similar areas set up a tabletop experiment that will provide scientists their first opportunity to measure the probability that particles can move through slits in a twisted path.[7] Subsequently, this prediction has been verified experimentally.[8][9]
