Double Olympic medallist PV Sindhu, one of India’s most decorated badminton players, is all set to marry senior IT professional Venkata Datta Sai in a wedding ceremony scheduled for December 22 in Udaipur. The announcement of the wedding comes as a pleasant surprise to many, as Sindhu has been a constant figure in international badminton, garnering attention for her stellar achievements on the court.
Sindhu’s father, PV Ramana, confirmed the wedding to PTI, revealing that the match between Sindhu and Venkata Datta Sai was finalised just a month ago. While both families had known each other for some time, the wedding was organised quickly to fit within Sindhu’s packed schedule. With the upcoming badminton season expected to be particularly demanding, starting in January 2025, the two families decided that December would be the best time for the wedding. “The two families knew each other, but it was only a month ago that everything was finalised. This was the only possible window for the wedding as her schedule will be busy starting January,” Ramana shared. Following the wedding ceremony in Udaipur, a reception will be held in Hyderabad on December 24. Sindhu is expected to resume her training soon after, as she prepares for the crucial 2025 season.
Venkata Datta Sai, who will soon become Sindhu’s husband, is an executive director at Posidex Technologies. His career has seen him work with several prominent companies, including JSW and Sour Apple Asset Management. Sai holds a Diploma in Liberal Arts and Sciences from the Foundation of Liberal and Management Education and a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting and Finance from Flame University. He later pursued a Master’s degree in Data Science and Machine Learning from the International Institute of Information Technology in Bangalore. Since December 2019, Sai has been with Posidex Technologies, where he has developed solutions for some of the largest banks, including HDFC and ICICI. On his LinkedIn profile, Sai describes how he solves complex problems related to credit score matching and entity resolution, indicating the high level of technical expertise he brings to his professional role.
This union between Sindhu and Venkata Datta Sai has been a topic of much excitement, especially considering Sindhu’s legendary status in badminton. As she prepares to embark on the next chapter of her personal life, she continues to be an inspiration to millions of sports enthusiasts across India and around the world.
