India’s top shuttler and double Olympics medallist PV Sindhu is set to tie the knot with Hyderabad-based tech executive Venkata Datta Sai in a private ceremony in Udaipur on December 22. Sindhu, who won the Syed Modi International badminton title in Lucknow last week will have host a reception on December 24 and hopes to be back on the court by the start of January next year.

“The two families knew each other but it was only a month ago that everything was finalised. This was the only possible window as her schedule will be hectic from January,” said Sindhu’s father, PV Ramana was quoted as saying by PTI news agency.

“So that is the reason the two families decided to have the marriage ceremony on December 22. The reception will be held in Hyderabad on December 24. She will start her training soon after as the next season is going to be important,” he added.

Sindhu’s wedding-related events of the two-time Olympic medallist will begin on December 20. On Sunday, Sindhu said she would ‘definitely’ play the game for the next couple of years as she prepares for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

Who is Venkata Datta Sai?

The question on every India sports fan’s mind is who is PV Sindhu’s would-be groom? Venkata Datta Sai currently works as an Executive Director with Posidex Technologies. The company provides data-management services to some of the top banks as well as NBFCs in this country.

Venkata did his  Diploma in Liberal Arts and Sciences/Liberal Studies from Foundation of Liberal and Management Education. He completed his BBA Accounting and Finance from Flame University Bachelor of Business Administration in 2018 and then did his Master’s degree in Data Science and Machine Learning  from International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore.

He has worked with JSW both as a summer intern as well as an In-House Consultant. “My BBA in finance and economics pales in comparison to managing an IPL team, but I must admit I learned a lot from both of these experiences,” Sindhu’s fiancé posted on his LinkedIn profile.

From 2019, he has worked as Managing Director for Sour Apple Asset Management while also serving as the Executive Director in Posidex Technologies. “The loan that you get in 12 seconds or the credit card that you have thanks to the instant credit score matching? Just some of the most complex problems I solve using a proprietary entity resolution search engine. My solutions and products are deployed for critical operations at some of the biggest banks from HDFC to ICICI,” his LinkedIn profile reads.

Sindhu is one of India’s greatest Olympans, with five badminton world championship medals, including a gold in 2019, besides her silver and bronze at the Olympic Games. The Hyderabad shuttler won back-to-back Olympic medals at Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 and achieved a career-high world ranking of No. 2 in 2017.
