Satpathy was an invited scholar to the Rockefeller Foundation’s  Bellagio Residency 2024 to further her research and development of the Odissi training pedagogy. She was also a 2023-24 fellow at the Center for Ballet and the Arts at NYU, deepening her choreographic vocabulary. As the artist in residence at the Metropolitan Museum's Department of Live Arts 2021-22, Satpathy drew inspiration from four iconic galleries, engaging with architecture, ancestry, stories, legends, and aesthetic elements. Satpathy considers this endeavor to be her most experimental work, which culminated in “Doha” building on movement explorations at The Met Cloisters, the Modern and Contemporary Art wing, the Islamic Art wing, and the Astor Chinese Garden Court. Dance Magazine observes, "When Bijayini Satpathy dances, the air around her changes… everything beyond the world she creates onstage seems to dissolve."

Her exceptional contributions to Odissi in Education and Performance were recognized with the Dance Magazine Award in 2023. In 2020, she received the prestigious NY Dance and Performance Bessie Award, and in 2019, Dance Magazine acknowledged her as the Best Solo Dancer. In India, she has been honored with the Ustad Bismillah Khan Yuva Puraskar and the esteemed Nritya Choodamani title from Sri Krishna Gana Sabha, Chennai.

Satpathy cultivated her passion for Odissi in Orissa and spent 25 years at Nrityagram, where she was a principal dancer, teacher, researcher, and administrator from 1993 to 2018. Discovered by Nrityagram's founder, Smt. Protima Gauri, she collaborated closely with Artistic Director Surupa Sen, achieving global recognition for their distinctive duets. Her profound understanding of integrated physical conditioning for Odissi, combined with expertise in Yoga, Natyashastra, Kalaripayattu, western techniques, anatomy, and kinesiology, led to her role as Nrityagram's Director of Training and Outreach, elevating the international standing of the school for its distinctive training approach.

Regularly invited by cultural organizations and educational institutions as a speaker and scholar, she has been featured twice at the NY City Center Studio 5, in 2021 and recently in 2023, for lecture demonstrations of her pedagogy. Since 2023, Satpathy has continued to host an annual residential workshop in India, attracting students from around the world. In 2015, she held the position of Regents Residency Lecturer in the Department of World Arts & Cultures/Dance at UCLA.

Satpathy's essay "The ever-expanding horizons of the world of Odissi" in The Oxford Handbook of Indian Dance, edited by Anurima Banerji and Prarthana Purkayastha, is scheduled for publication in 2024 by Oxford University Press, New York. 

Commissioned by Duke University and the Baryshnikov Arts Center, ABHIPSAA - a seeking, takes the audience on a profoundly personal journey. In collaboration with musicians, composers, lighting and theatrical designers, Satpathy’s performance is an otherworldly and transformative experience. A selection of the piece was presented virtually by the Baryshnikov Arts Center with introduction by Mikhail Baryshnikov and Mark Morris in February 2021 and the full piece had its world premiere performances at Duke University in December 2021. This work was made possible with additional funding from the New England Foundation for the Arts' National Dance Project, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Foundation and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
